Worn or badly cut key, wheels turned cramping the steering wheel so that there is pressure on the key cylinder. Cylinder itself bad.
I am not sure what causes this, but I have had times when my ignition key would not turn. The solution to the main problem is to turn the steering wheel slightly. This usually allows the ignition key to turn.
You need to put a key in the ignition and turn it.
turn key over turn key over
I usually take the key out, turn it, and put it back in ignition to start
move the steering wheel while attempting to turn ignition key
Wrong key?
Your ignition also locks your steering and at times you need to move the steering wheel a little and at the same turn your ignition key. Then you should be able to turn the key and start the engine. Hal
How can I take out the key from the ignition key in a BMW 325i 2001. I can turn on the engine but the key doesn't come out when I turn off.
it is either the key is worn out or the key cylinder in the ignition is worn out.
is it a ford? push the key in further and then turn it
It's the wrong key maybe!
There could be many causes to this problem. There could be something on the key and the safety feature may not let it turn. The steering wheel could be locked as well, which would cause the key not to turn.
