Re: Help my key wont turn !!!

Im guessing its just jammed. My car has done this twice since I've had it and my friend's truck does it every once in a while. You just have to force it to turn. Hit it a few times, dont be afraid to break it. Just keep playing around with it, it'll break loose.

Yeah that happened to Mike. Just jimmy the wheel while you are jimmying the key. Should unlock the steering wheel and you should be able to turn the key.

Re: Help my key wont turn !!!

i had this problem with the first pos that i owned, the method that worked well for me was kerking the steering wheel left and right while adjusting the depth of the key try not putting it in all the way. eventaully i got sick and tired and just replaced the igntion.

Same with my first car you had to move the key in and out a little and jerk the wheel left and right to get the key to turn, a pain in the ass.
