Key stuck in ignition however car will start

What is your question?

Key stuck in ignition (unless click release under steering wheel) However the car will start Hi, I recently replaced my ECM car worked fine for months... then I did something that allowed the car battery to die over night. So, I took the battery back where I got it from and had it recharged.... Now, I have a list of random issues. However the car does start and drives... 1. Security light is on 2. Key stays stuck unless I force release under steerig wheel. 3. Gas Gauge shows empty when full 4. Auto reverse lights won't come on..

How long has your 2006 Cadillac CTS had this problem?

A few weeks

Hello, fuel gauge concern is unrelated to other concerns. Auto reverse lights also unrelated. Have those systems tested to determine what is wrong in each area. It sounds like there is a problem with the ignition lock cylinder and related electrical components. I can't speculate without getting hands on to check the vehicle out. The security light being on should provide some diagnostic trouble codes that may be helpful in diagnosing the concern.
