Audio fuse blowing when I turn the key

Sounds like you have an electrical short under or inside the dashboard somewhere.
PLEASE do not turn the radio on again until that is fixed.
As a retired firefighter, I can honestly tell you, you might start a fire and burn up your car if you do not fix this.
Be blessed.

Key stuck in ignition in acc position. Had to pull coil wire to shut off. It wont turn to the off position so I can pull key out.

Look for a 30Amp square fuse in the fuse box under hood, pull that fuse and the key will come out, how ever with out the fuse you may not be able to shift from park. Ignition lock has to be replaced.

93 pontiac sunbird. Ign.ken in on position and is stuck in that position. Can't turn to start or to turn off to remove key.

Is the column round or square? I think 1993 is round. Sounds like the ignition lock cylinder needs replaced.

Key stuck in ignition of 1996 Toyota 4Runner

This truck has a switch in the shifter assembly that tells the ignition the truck is in Park or not. If the shifter doesn't hit that switch right this can happen. Also, there is a component in the ignition (a solenoid) that allows the key to be released if the Park switch is pushed. To be sure it's one of these two things, try this.... Get the key stuck, then disconnect the battery. If the key comes right out, it's either the switch or the solenoid. Good luck!

Key stuck in ignition

This is a VERY common problem and there is a campaign though I am not sure it ever made it to full recall. The ultimate answer is to have the ignition switch replaced. In the meantime, you'll need to be able to get that key out. On the bottom side of the steering column there is a one inch square rubber plug that you pry out. You can then use your pointer finger to push the switch in. This will release the lock and let you turn your key to the off position and remove. You may want to leave this plug out as you'll be doing this a lot until it is repaired.
