I'm from California, and I drive a 2002 Subaru Forester. Today I was getting out of my car when I realized that I left the window open. I put the keys back in to close the window, then got distracted by my friends and stupidly left the keys in the ignition in on.
I came back around 2 hours later to find the keys stuck in the ignition (luckily I had left the door unlocked). I'm pretty sure the battery is dead, and I can't turn the key back to the 0 position because it makes a clicking noise. I'm not sure if it's the alarm or not. So I have to leave the key in 2, but no matter what I do the key won't come out.
Somebody told me the transmission is locked, but I don't know what that means. But I would greatly appreciate if anybody could tell me how to make it so that my key can just come out. Then from there I can just borrow a jumper cable and restart the car.
I'm desperate and have no idea what to do so any help is appreciated. Thank you!!
