You could also have a bad speed sensor. It has two located on the front right of the engine and transmission (looking from the front of the car).

It sounds like you are either low on transmission fluid, or you have a shift solenoid or TCC Solenoid that is failing. Check the transmission fluid level when the engine is warmed up. If the fluid is at the correct level, see if your check engine light is on. If the CEL light is on, you probably have a failed Solenoid Valve. Have the code checked to find out which solenoid is faulty.

Sometimes the mechanical system that locks your steering wheel has too much vehicle weight which can prevent the key from turning. If you can move the vehicle back and forth while someone turn the steering wheel and turn the ignition switch.

96 chrysler town country wont shift into third gear
If it starts out in 2nd gear & dosn't shift, it is probably in a limp in mode. the system will need to be diagnosed & computer satisfied. sometimes disconnecting the battery will reset the computer & allow the trans to shift untill it sees the problem again. I recomend getting the codes read first so the memory will not be erased.

Ignitin switch will not move with key How do you you replace.... remove the old one
Before you do anything with the ignition key check the gear shift lever is not stuck in gear or there is no problem with the transmission. I am assuming you have an automatic transmission.

The gear position P sensor might be faulty. There is an interlock between gear shift and the ignition switch.

My trans is stuck in second gear. Is that what
The town and country vans are know for transmission problems and it would not be stuck in 2nd gear if it was in limp mode. Limp mode typically controls the engine. I have seen people do a transmission flush/filter and add lucas to temporary fix the problem. There is also a good chance that the transmission has a solenoid problem preventing it from shifting into any other gears but second. Hope this helps!

Van is not shifting out of 2nd gear?
I am going to assume you have the overdrive trans. This trans defualts to second gear if the trans computer detects there is a problem.

This problem can be anything from internal falure to sensors that are bad. You have to scan it for trans codes. It could be a simple input or output speed sensor. that is the easiest. however you have to start with the scan.

Most Advance and Autozone parts stores will scan for free.

Hope this helps and hope it is not internal.
