Sometimes you have to shimmy the steering wheel back and forth while trying to put the ignition to lock position. Many vehicles do this.
Because there are tumblers in the lock where you put the key in. When you put the right key in, all the tumblers are put in the right place and all the sensors are then turned off so the car will start. When all the tumblers are not put in the right position due to a bad key, the sensors stay on so when you turn the key, the cr won't start and the antitheft alarm goes off
Make sure that the sterring colum is not in a bind all so see if you have a switch release on the side of the sterring colum and depress and turn the switch to off position make sure the switch has a release lever on the side of the sterring colum if so depress it and turn off the switch
Replace just the steering lock unit. The tumblers are old, and they need to be replaces. After replacing the lock, go to a locksmith, and have him re-key the doors to match your new ignition lock.
go to a mechanic?
go to a Lincoln dealer and they will use the car vin number to get a replacement key
Its the gear shift. It's not all the way in park. The car may not be moving, but its not locked in the park position. Check it out. I had the same exact problem
you can lock the driver side door on my 2001 ford explorer sport but it wont unlock with key nor key pad you have to go through passanger door
Not much info to go on but make sure the shift selector is all the way in park.
simple fault. just bring it in to your local dealer to have a look.
Go to dealer, expensive, have to get one through them so key is the same as the original so you don't need two keys, door/ ignition. Tear apart steering column.
If the lock barrel turns, then it's in as far as it needs to go. Otherwise, if the lock barrel doesn't turn, then it's faulty and needs to be replaced. This can unfortunately, sometimes entail replacing the entire Steering Lock Assembly.
Insert ignition key, turn to "on" position and back to "off" position three times ending in the "on" position while holding the door lock button on your driver or passanger door, after the honks, let go of the lock button and hold the "lock" and "unlock" button of your remote until the vehicle honks again, now position your ignition key to the off position and unlock your door and open it. That should do the trick.
you might have it on caps lock. press the caps lock button on your key board. hope i helped! :))
