Electrical problem
2001 Mazda MPV 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

The Key is locked in the ignition but if you pull the 60A key1 fuse, 10A hazard fuse, or the 7 ohm bleed resistor. Is there something I can do or is it a dealer thing. It just started and the dealership will not return my phone calls. Please help me.

If you take off only the upper column cover and look on the combination switch towards top and way on the backside you will see 2 wires running to a little black protrusion on the right. This is the back side of the microswitch. Move the shifter off park and you can see the little metal bar coming from the switch.
If you press it down and the key comes out this is your problem. I just bent the bar up alittle and it works again.
