Welcome to 2CarPros.

When you say the key body is damaged, is it hitting something and preventing the key from fully turning? Do you have a spare key to try? Also, does the shifter fully engage in park?

Let me know. I have seen issues with the shift interlock solenoid not allowing the shifter to fully reach the park position. Also, I have seen blown ignition fuses that have prevented the key from turning fully off.

I will watch for your reply.

Take care,
Joe
