Apparently there was no 2004 Buick regal key stuck. Thats what it claims.turned car off key stuck. Next morning battery was dead. I bought a new battery cause the other looked like the original.Started car drove 15 mins parked it. Next morning battery was dead again. I looked for key releases under steering wheel pulled steering housing down didnt see 1. I tried wd 40 in lock jiggling key i tried steering lock and making sure its in park position no luck. Maybe a fuse?

So I assume the key is stuck in the "on" position correct? If so the key tumbler will need to be replaced. Here are the instructions on how to replace it and I have included a guide that may help as well.
