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.

Key is stuck in the ignition of 94' Chevy blazer in the on position the key turns on but wont turn off to take key out..HELP?

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.

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.

How the ignition lag is an important engineparameter for causing knocking in ci?

Ignition lag is the time delay between the start of injection and the start of combustion in a compression ignition (CI) engine. A longer ignition lag can lead to the premature autoignition of the fuel-air mixture, causing knocking. Proper control of ignition lag through fuel injection timing is crucial in preventing knocking in CI engines.

What do you do if Key doesn't turn in ignition?

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.

(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


Where could you find a diagram for repairing ignition switch on 2000 Chevy Impala with 34 LT engine that remote was lost causing it to lockup?

Ignition switch doesn't lock up if you lose remote. Your problem is a bad ignition lock set and not the ignition switch it self. There are 2 pieces to the set up, 1 is the lock and 2 is the switch. If your key can go in and turn to the "acessories" or "on" position, then it can de replaced rather easily. If your key can't turn at all or won't go in,(lock set) it can still be changed but it's a little harder to do. You can do this with out replacing the ignition switch.


ON A 1999 FORD f550 truck why would you have no power to the ignition wire at the starter solenoid when the key is in the start position?

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.
