What can you do if you are unable to insert the key in the ignition switch on a 1989 Peugeot 405 mi16?

If the key is the same as on my Peugeot 405 estate, it has a hole in it near the tip. When the ignition barrel is working properly the key will depress a pin when you insert it into the lock, allowing the key to be inserted fully. If the key on your car will only go part way into the lock and then stops (about 4mm short of fully in), it may be that the lock is broken and the pin is stuck out blocking the key. I have got around this by filing off the end of the key until the hole becomes a 'notch' i.e. it is open at the end. I discovered this solution when I had the same problem with a car I bought, and then realised that someone had already done this to the key on the other Peugeot I owned. I tried it and it worked! You do have to be very careful how you use the cut off key, as the forked end can bend easily and be difficult to get back it the lock if not pulled out straight. Its definitely worth a try - hopefully you have two keys and can give it a go on one of them.

Removal of ignition switch on a 1989 Buick Regal I have the streering column droppped down and the Key is stuck in the on position at this point unable to remove key what holds the switch in?
there should be an access hole just under the steering column about the size of a screw. Remove the cover and insert a screwdriver or pen up inside. There is a release mechanism up inside. Push it while trying to remove the key. It should come out.
What happens when the tumbler in the ignition switch is bad?
To be clear, this is the cylinder ignition lock we are talking about, not the ignition starter switch. If the tumblers are damaged or 'bad', the key may be able to be removed fromt the ignition lock while the car is running. Also, the key may simply not go into the ignition lock anymore. On most cars the cylinder ignition lock is a separate item and can be replaced for a moderate price. However, this is not something for a novice to work on since this is just one of many interconnected parts. Messing with a ignition system may make your vehicle unable to simply start again.
