Is there a rely on the shift button that u depress to shift into park. My keys get stuck in the ignition just before the off position. I can get them out by sticking a straw in the hole under the switch. When i push the button on the shifter it used to make a clicking noise that sounded like a relay opening and closing. I no longer here that sound. Is there a relay on this button that that controls the ignition to tell the car it is in park

i belive there is a device that releases the igniton and the key when it is inpark. it may be faulty and not engaging properly take apart the column and examine for signs of wear or broken parts
