What would cause the ignition on a 96 Pontiac Sunfire to freeze up so the key won't turn?

the ignition key will not turn if the steering wheel is locked in place. The steering wheel locks in place when it is turned with the ignition off. If the wheel is locked just try turning the wheel back and forth and turn the key at the same time, this will unlock the wheel, and allow the key to turn


When the key is in the ignition on a 1972 VW bug the steering wheel is difficult to unlock could this be a problem with the lock cylinder?

No. with the steering wheel locked you need to move it in the opposite direction so that you can turn the ignition, otherwise you're causing more problems for yourself.So whatever direction the steering wheel will turn(i think left) is the way you should turn it and then flip the ignition.

What makes the steering wheel lock on a 2003 Hyundai and how do you unlock it?

Steering wheels are generally locked from the ignition switch. It is supposed to lock only in the OFF position. If you steering locks in any other key position, you likely have a problem with the linkage rod or cable that connects the ignition lock cylinder to the steering column. You have to take apart the dash and possibly the steering column to fix this.

Why cant you turn on your car the key goes into the the ignition but it seems locked because you cant turn the ignition to get the car started?

It may be that when you shut down your car earlier you had your steering wheel turned just so. Try inserting your key in the ignition and turn your steering wheel just slightly and see if that will unlock the switch. I had that happen to me and that is all I needed to do. Hope this helped.
