The key body is damaged but not the key.

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
