My battery went dead and I couldn’t remove the key. Thanks to your video I was able to figure out the key was stuck because without power, the ignition won’t unlock the key. Your vid saved me the trouble of trying to force the key out.

Made an appointment for my 3500 a tow and a diagnostic at the dealer next week tried this and it fucking worked! Dude you’re a life saver thank you!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Very well explained and resolved my issue. I was installing a positive and negative cable for my 2021 ProMaster and my wife in the middle of the process, got me distracted. Forgot to tighten the positive cable and the security padlock light it up on my dashboard living me on a HomeDepot parking lot overnight. I have search all over the internet but no luck until I found your videos this morning. When I when in to battery compartment to check on that fuse, there it was! A Dam! Nut not being tightened. Thank you once again. A++ for this video. 👍 and buy the way,… the dealer will charge you $500 to $1200 dollars for a $5 fuse. 😕

Mine was 2018 Travato 59G on 2017 Promaster 3500. Mine wouldn't shift and key wouldn't come out. I was still able to figure it out thanks to you. We would still be waiting on a tow and would have missed a LOT of family / work if not for you / this post. THANK YOU!!!!

I have a 2017 Winnebago Trend and I never thought getting the key out could be electrical. Thanks for taking the time to post. I originally thought those were 20 amp fuses not 70, thanks goodness I took a pic with my cell phone and enlarged on the screen. I thought of replacing all of those and getting a new battery too.

I had the same issue. This guy has on my ram pro master, 2500 2018 and I resolved it by getting out of the van and giving it a little push in the door jam forward which created a rocking motion and once I did this I was able to Remove and or start the van and shift the gear shifter! I’d remembered as a younger man having this issue with a car are used to have it would not go into gear correctly and the same thing fixed it. It would not do it all the time just occasionally on how you park I believe.

Hey Scott, if you ever experience this issue again try getting out of the vehicle and pushing the vehicle forward to create a rocking sensation. I have a 2018 ram pro master 2500 and this is happened to me several times how I park has something to do with it, but I give it a little shove forward and immediately the vehicle goes forward and then backwards an inch or two the body not the tires and once I do this, the vehicle cranks and shifts and you’re able to remove the key without any issues it really freaked me out the first time it did it I was at a park way out away from everywhere.

I just had this problem when it rains. Last Monday and today. Just told the dealer. These people follow error codes...which can be misleading. Guys, look for wheel sensor issues. And that fuse is just genius. Thanks from the North.

I already made the connection as it appears in your video, but I was not successful. since it was necessary to program new keys and only then I can turn on. but now it turns out that the key has attacked again since the key does not turn at all. therefore I think that the whole problem is the column lock I have two questions more: there is another place where you can add more ground. And if you know how to disassemble the column ah and the other question is that if I can put the ground that comes from the starter motor together with the ground of the fuse box, that is, I would remove it from the body of the vehicle.

I can wiggle the key, take it out and juggle the wheel…sometimes it takes 4-5 tries and then it starts or it simply will not turn over. If I wait a while it has always started right up. This is an intermittent problem. Sometimes I go for weeks with it starting correctly every time. Do you think I have this fuse issue???
