Won't shut off or you just can't remove the key....there is a small hole located under the steering wheel, if you push in a small screw driver or possibly a pen or pencil in this hole and this will manually releases the key. there is a solenoid that is suppose to actual the key release when you shut off the car. Problem could be selenoid is not working or... as in my case the wiring harness for this, is located inside the shifter console was broken. This wiring pigtail powers this and other safety features. Poor design by GM as the wires bend back and forth with the shifter... so over time the wires eventually brake off of the connector. A new pigtail is about $50 Wow so I suggest carry around the pencil or pen for when this happens.

How can you get your 2003 Pontiac Aztek parking lights to go off and work normal again?
I wish I knew a better answer. My Aztek's lights can be turned off by turning the key to off position and then manually rotating the light button on the top left one click clockwise and then back all the way to the left. If I do this before I turn the key off, the damn thing will turn the lights back on again. Wish I had a better answer. It is clear that the Aztek designers thought God knew best when to turn its lights off and on.
