What else can I help you with?
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.
How do I get the key to turn on my 1997 Camry when the key won't turn and the steering wheel is locked?
this locking mechanism is built into all cars, on this model you cant disable that feature. if you take the steering wheel and turn it so its not pushing against the lock pin in the key switch, then turn the key, it should turn easily. If you park your Camry with the front wheels pointed straight ahead, you will avoid this problem, as there will be no presure against the locking pin. If you do find the ignition locked, follow instructions in previous answer, but also be sure to firmly depress the brake pedal as you gently turn the steering wheel back and forth while at the same time trying to turn ignition key. Do NOT try to force the key, when you find the right spot for the steering wheel, the key will turn easily. p.s. if auto transmission, be sure its in PARK.
The car is running and you cant get the key out of the ignition in a 1993 Buick Roadmaster?
I have this same problem. Presently I pull fuse 13 to shut off the motor and then disconnect the negative battery cable. If I am going to be using the car within 2 or 3 hours I leave the cable connected and just pull the fuse. I am told that I need to have a new tumbler lock put in. The steering wheel needs to be pulled and the air bag disassembled. Sounds expensive to me! I am trying to get someone to bypass the lock and put in a pushbutton starter.
How do you remove the ignition switch from the dash board of a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am?
best to read up... Everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and a professional shop manual should be available at your local library, just make copies of the right pages, as they are usually REFERENCE only...read up and good luck :)
How do you remove the ignition switch and steering column of a 1989 Chevy Beretta the key locked up beyoe the start mode and wont unlock and cant remove key?
i am having the exact same issue all of a sudden. mine's a 90. Mine will turn off, but only after fighting with it. one of the guys at the repair shop i went to told me that sometimes, if you mess with your tilt steering while turning the switch, it can help unstick it. i don't know.. they tried mine out several times while there and the dang thing worked fine every time.. ughh.. from what I've read so far, if the car has tilt steering, you need a special tool to get in there and remove it. it would be helpful to get a chiltons or haynes manual, they are usually real good on diagrams, instructions.. good luck!!

How do you enable a anitheft mechanism on steering wheel?
Most cars have one included from the car manufacturer. To enable you turn the key to a certain position that does two things, locks the ignition so it cant be turned on to start the car and second it activates the steering wheel lock so the steering can't be turned.

What is wrong when key wont turn at all 2004 grand am gt?
More than likely, your sterring wheel is turned hard to the left or right.....or middle, actually....anytime you turn hard against the wheel after you have shut off your engine, you are pushing against the unassisted (by power) steering, this means that you will encounter resistance, and when you do turn your key all the way to the off position, and then let go of the steering wheel, there will be considerable pressure against the ignition assembly....It can be all but impossible to start the car until you turn the wheel to ease pressure on the lockset........i cant tell you how many times i have seen this, and panicked people who cannot start their car.....i lean in to the vehicle, pull the wheel to one side or the other and magically they can turn the key...... Of course, you could have a really badly eroded key, but not likely in a 2004....... we can assume you are not using the key to your Briggs & stratton to start you car, right......
