Hello, Just bought 98 red vert as a project with grandson. Numerous problems but the worst is with the battery at full charge shifter in park the key will not move to lock position for removal. If you disconnect the battery the switch will easily turn and the key can be removed. I have read many locksmith remedies and have tried ones that apply. It has a boomerang looking TDS fob. Ideas, help? Thanks.

Very likely the ignition lock is failed, I think it actuates a pin on the lock cylinder that stops it from rotating except in park. Once in park the pin is retracted and the key can be removed. Is there a key in ignition chime? Will the car crank in gear? Any blown fuses?
