Dear JK  my ignition key will go into the cylinder, but it will not turn for me to try to
start it.
Any ideas of what i can do?






JK:
This sounds like the ignition cylinder is jammed and will need to be replaced. You
could try to spray wd-40 and work the key in and out several times, then try to turn
it. Or with key in ignition, try tapping on key with small hammer while trying to turn
key back and forth to free it up. Play with it for a while, and it may free up enough
to get it to start , but will still need to replace ignition cylinder and then relearn the
theft system. Dont be too gentle with the key in/out , turning, tapping, usually will
free up after awhile.
