Have you tried wiggling the steering column while turning the key? If that helps, you probably need to remove a portion of the plastic cover from your steering column to enable you to lube the column lock. That's the thing that keeps the steering from turning if the key is not turned on. If the column lock jams, it can prevent the key from turning.
yes, it happened to me, what it was, the solenoid of the starter motor got stucked at the closed position causing it to continue working even doe the ingnition key was removed. yes, it happened to me, what it was, the solenoid of the starter motor got stucked at the closed position causing it to continue working even doe the ingnition key was removed.
Look at the TCC solenoid in the trans is going to be bad.
The gear mechanisms in the steering column may have busted.. also you can try to rotate the steering while,if this doesn't help do it with pair of pliers..got it?!no?!call a locksmith.... Locksmith reply: You can use the pliers to turn it back to the off position but the ignition will need to be replaced. It's pretty common on GM vehicles. Most the time it is just the lock itself that is causing the problem.
after an earthquake the plates are just rearranging themselves into a position that they cant move anymore therefore causing aftershocks.
If a 2001 Cadillac DHS sometimes won\'t start, becomes idle or just dies it\'s probably a problem with the gear box.
There is a short somewhere in the ignition system causing the fuse to burn out. Start by replacing the ignition switch to see if that helps.
fuel pump relay?
replace the ignition, the spring controlling one or more of the lower wafers in the half of lock is broken causing gravityto pull them into the wrong position making the lock inoperable.
Your problem is the ignition switch. Either the switch is bad or if the switch is mounted on the steering column, it may be out of position causing it to only energize the ignition circuit but not energizing the accessory circuits.
On my 2002 the ignition switch was hanging up causing a similar situation. A shot of WD40 into the key hole cleared it up, over a year ago.
If a key does not turn in the ignition, the solution could be to turn the steering wheel back and forth a few times. Sometimes the steering wheel is locked up causing the key to be stuck or to not crank the car. If this does not work, contact a mechanic to diagnose the issue. The car could be a model that has been recalled.
copper will not 'spark' causing ignition of the powder. Steel can produce a 'spark' causing the powder to ignite................

position
(a) Switch OFF the radio & Ignition (b) Turn Ignition ON (Position II) (c) The airbag warning light will stay on for 7 seconds and then switch off - as soon as it does turn OFF the ignition (within 1 second of the light switching off) (d) Wait at least 5 seconds (e) Repeat steps (a) to (c) two more times - this is important to make sure it registers with different modules in the car (f) Turn ON ignition, wait 2 seconds (g) Switch OFF Ignition (Position 0) and wait 1 second (h) Switch ignition back ON. (i) Airbag light should now remain unlit as long as the fault(s) causing are also addressed
There could be a wire break causing the loss of power to the solenoid. Or there could be a problem with the neutral safety switch, if the switch is bad there will not be any power to the solenoid.
try turning the steering wheel it might be sprung causing the key from turning all the way. or try pushing on the shift lever, it will not lock the wheel until the care is in park !
