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?

A bunch of new cars no longer have the steering lock.
If you don't have the steering lock something else has to lock... Transmission and parking brake locks are a thing now. I FAR prefer the steering locks over the others. It's gotten far more complex and difficult to repair the auto lock crap. The parking brake locks are the worst IMO. Lots of cars have fully electric door locks now as well. You get a weird electrical problem, and you cannot open the doors. When you send a wrecker to pick it up sometimes they have to DRAG it onto the flat bed. Modern solutions to an old problem make an auto technicians job harder. Don't diss the steering lock. At least this system was purely mechanical. I've had to crawl under cars to hook up a jump box to either the alternator or starter lug multiple times in the past year. Stupidity... |
