So I went out and bought a brake sensor replace it, drove around the neighborhood to see if abs light would come on and it didn't, park in front of my house and now key won't come out but I'm able to turn on my car? Any suggestion would help please,can it be the new brake sensor? I did put back my old brake sensor to see if key would come out but it still stuck and won't come out l.
You could have a problem with the release cable. The release cable runs from the shifter assembly to the ignition lock (it's a mechanical cable, not electrical). When you put the shifter lever into Park (P), the pin inside the cable is pushed in, in order to release the ignition lock.
Lift up the window switch board and look if the cable pin is pushed all the way when you put the lever into Park. Try to push the shifter all the way into park.
What year is your car? 2000 MY and pre 2000 MY act differently when it comes to shifter assemblies and brake sensors.

Ok found the problem, underneath my dash board there a broken metal piece that attaches the shifter wire and when
I press down on the brake it sense it so if it's in the right position the key will come out, but sense it's broken and I press on the brakes, it moves the metal so next time I start the car key won't come out unless I manually adjust it to make key pop out , tricked it by removing top metal ball piece now I can remove my key

I have no idea quess it's been broken and I just got a bad brake sensor and checked up on it and it was broken, looks like you needed to force it to be broken, which is strange I don't no how it happen so I just took off the silver ball out like it was to trick the system to take out my keys again, and now I have no abs lights on and my car has no check engine light or anything.
