anyone know a GOOD Hummer mechanic in Palmdale,Lancaster, or Bakersfield? Dealer or not. 2003 H2 W/duramax conversion

 

Did you try standing on the brake while shifting? I believe the transmission is locked into park otherwise. Cheers.

 

I'm not 100% sure he is still there, but I suspect he is.

Theres a mechanic up on West Avenue I in between Division and Sierra. The guy I dealt with was named Doug, 661-874-4047 is the number I still have for him. I used him to do repair my H2 while I was TDY at NTC.
Was a referral from an E7 in one of the motorpools on post that led me to him.

 

Check your trans shift cable, mine broke off at the trans brackett and it wouldent come out of park or allow me to retrive my key, had AAA to take it to the Hummer Dealership, the cable was $400 installed..........

Hope this Helps...........

 

If the battery dies the key will not come out of the ignition.

 

My key also stuck in ign. it was the wiring under center console (cup holder area) that triggered a release solonoid in steering wheel area to release key

 

I just had the same problem. Followed the advice of Trailermedic and found the yellow wire that is on the harness plugged into the shifter is cut straight through. I touched it together and could hear the solenoid in the steering column click. I was able to turn the ignition the rest of the way off and get the key out. Now I just have to repair the severed wire. I love this forum!

 

great!,,,while you had it open if you pushed the brake you would have heard/seen the shift lock solenoid. an ez mod,kills the sol and u can shift with no batt,no key,no nuttin!
i did mine and i like it,cant get stuck with a dead batt,in park,ON THE RR TRACKS!,or your garage
oh,last yr someone told how to find a hole under the steering wheel,pushed in a pin to release the key. hope someone remembers. id like to try that,,,just in case

 

Hi I have an 04 H2 Hummer and I live in ms And I’m having the issue with my key it won’t shut off or down I can take the key out of the ignition last night my battery light came on and it ran it down without the key even in it . I’ve watched a couple videos on YouTube but it’s all about the key getting stuck in people getting them out Just help before I have to take it to the shop or get it towed there

 

check the yellow wire like suggested. it is under the shifter on the harness that connects to the shifter. those wires do break over time.
