Help, my ignition switch will not turn. I can install and remove key. After I jiggled the key the buzzer sounded because the door was open but I still could not turn the key. I would like to keep the original key and just repair the switch if I can but how do I repair this?

If you take one apart you will see the key cylinder is locked in position by the little tumblers that properly retract when you put the key in place, no lube required.
Then you are simply turning an electrical switch, which should never be lubricated. The steering wheel lock is a 1/4 in pin that drops into place ….that can need help moving and in some cases it will not move if sideways pressure is pushing on it. Wiggling the steering wheel can remove that pressure. Pulling the wheel to one side or the other while trying to turn the key can also help. |
