Lincoln Navigator key stuck in ignition.. SOLVED!!

Key stuck in ignition and would not come out even after changing the shifter. I have solved my issue with an EASY fix!

Had the same problem. I took the wire harness apart and placed it back then it fixed the issue. Will surely need to replace the end of that yellow wire soon. Thanks for the much needed help. You save me lots of time hunting it down. only took me 20 minutes to solve. Thanks again your awesome!

Saved me a headache with this one thank you!

I have a similar problem with my 05 Navigator. I separated that harness connection and saw the corrosion on the bottom right. I will clean it all up and see if it works without jumping the yellow wires. Was your rear tailgate hatch inoperable too? Excellent video Thanks!

Yes my tailgate was also problematic but I’m sure the two issues are two different problems.

[@jamesrosenow5918]

In addition to the key problem, my rear hatch also stop working electrically (can do it manually, only). Did you find your fix? I've played with this harness a bit to deal with the key problem, but in my case, jumping the yellow wire did nothing. Pulling the harness apart a few times also may have popped a fuse relative to the rear hatch, and I'll have to check that first.

07 navi (stucked key) in ignition is my problem.. is the procedure similar to yours?

[@urfanmalik3456]

It’s possible it’s the same problem. But there are other culprits also like the shifter or fuse or ignition

[@analiromero6006]

Have you experienced any other issues after doing this..my 04 navigator is doing the same thing the key won't come out unless I disconnect the negative battery then it will..do I have the same issue.

[@urfanmalik3456]

My navigator was fine and never had issues after this fix. You might have the same problem. Watch the video again and test the other things like the fuse. Let me know. But this is a common issue with navigators
