If you can't pull your key out of the Mercury Mountaineer 2-wheel drive. Here is the fix, turnkey to on but do not start. Move shifter to neutral position. Remove the cover that is under your shifter by loosening the 2 screws holding it and pop it up but not all the way out. Feel for a pin that is on the right side down the shifter shaft. Push that pin in wards as far as you can and then pop the shifter cover back into place. Yes, you have to open the center consol the find the 2 screws that release the cover to pop it up far enough the get to the pin. Hope this helps the person I saw posting for help earlier and was told call a lock smith.
