    Transmission range switch mazda MPV
    Ignition key stuck in 2002 MPV. Won't turn to lock position. Works only if battery disconnected. Could this be caused by the transmission range switch? If so, Can I replace it myself?

    Yes, it could be the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS). You should be able to replace it yourself. On some cars, you may need an alignment tool. Also, try spraying the inside lock mechanism with WD-40.
