1990 3.0 Automatic trans

Just replaced all the plastic around then shifter/4x4 controls and made sure that all the connections got put back in.

After putting all the plastic back on, started it to roll up the windows and now the key won't come out of the ignition.

I have tried putting both trans and tcase in N, putting Trans in N, putting in Park and holding brake pedal, using E-Brake, wiggling steering wheel, wiggling key, nada

After all this effort, the key will only turn to between the ACC and LOCK positions, cant be removed from ignition.

Any help appreciated.
 
Sounds like you bumped a wire loose on the shifter. If the shifter isn't registering as located in park, you can't pull it out. There should be a solenoid located in that region..... AFAIR
