New key stuck in the ignition.
SubscribeI received a second key by mail from Aston Martin. The key opened the doors fine but when I went to start the car, the start button didn't light up red. I pressed it anyway and it didn't start. Now the key doesn't want to come out of the ignition. What to do?

AMfixer, I haven't pull the key with a lot of force of fear of taking the drum off the steering altogether! Should I apply a lot of force without fear of taking the ignition drum with me?Originally Posted by AMFixer
The ker error fault is due to it not being programmed. I have had a few new keys get stuck, and it takes so force to get it out.

The key turns freely from position 0 to position 2, without any issues. It just does not come out !!! That was going to be my next question! Can I spray WD40 in the barrel to see if the comes out? Will the WD40 screw up any electronics inside the barrel?Originally Posted by AMFixer

Thanks, AMfixer. I'll let you know if it worked later!
Key is out !!! Thank you AMfixer..
I injected Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil around the key, into the tumbler. Then, from the passenger side, I lodged my knees against the center console, and pulled the key with both hands. The key came out in two stages, first half, and on a second pull, all of it. One funny thing about this ordeal,... that last pull, made me fell backwards, out the passenger door !!!
