Because i can take my key out, in any position!!

Is this normal??

Also my xj doesnt honk when i lock it??? it used to!

 

that's funny i found a wire in my engine bay and found a spot that it could hook up to and when i pulled the key out it was still running,,so i pulled that wire-it was kinda freaky

 

The key wont come out of the igniton on my 93 XJ while it is running but on my 95 Grand Am the key will come out in any position.

The Grand Am key is a hardware store copy tho while the XJ key is a factory original.

Mine never beeped when using the remote to lock it but now the little remote is broken so i have no way to remotely lock it anyways.

 

Yeah mines the original key too... Because it does it with the spare too... haha its not a problem, i just was wondering if they all did that.

 

not supposed to do this, your tumblers inside your ignition or getting worn out. Not really a huge deal as long as when you turn it off it still won't turn to the on position without the key. If it does then i would change it out for theft reasons

 

Mine key used to come out at any position. Even start without a key till I changed the lock cylinder.

 

The key can be removed from the ignition of my 91 XJ Sport in any position of the tumbler.

 

My old one did that, but not the new one, which is actually older than my "old" one...LOL!!

 

i haven't had a key in my xj since last year. seriously.

my ignition doesn't turn all the way to off unless i remove the gauge bezel and pull on the ignition rod on top of my steering column. so i just turn it back to shut the engine off and turn it forward to start all without the key.

 

Where are you in Canada??

 

I had a S10 p'up that the keys would fall out all the time. Stall it at a stop light and try to find those suckers, that was fun.

 

my buddy can take the key out of his xj while running. mine wont. alot of keys are inerchangeable. i know alot of ford vans are. and i can take my 1995 cavalier key and crank my dads s-10

 

It actually comes in handy when i want to use my radio at a bon fire or something... Because i can just turn it backwards and pull it out and no more beeping!!!

But I still need the key to move the tumbler.

 

yes all we pre 91 ckees can do that, it's just wear...

 

Same with my gf's 99 grand am. i have a copy key and it comes out while it's running. The original doesn't do it.
