Put the key in but it does not move - Cars & Trucks

sit in car look at shifter there is a key hole put key in it it will shift

try moving your steering wheel back and forth while trying key. I don't see how you could move the steering column, its usually bolted in very tight. If you can move your steering column, it needs tightened up immediatly!

If you put a new ignition switch in it is possible that the pins in the barrel are sticking and are not moving as they should.. take the key out and put powered graphite in the key hole and move the key in and out a few times and that lubricates the pins.. If it still will not turn then best check that the key is correct for the barrel .

put your foot on the brake and hold it there when you turn the key and move the shifter this could be a safety not allowing you to move the shifter.

Try this, put your foot on the brake, put the car in neutral, and try turning the key. If this works your ignition is going bad and needs replacing. IF it dosn't work it still needs replacing.

replace the lock cylinder, one of the pins has jammed.

put your transmission stick to ( p ) and try to move the steering wheel right and left and pull the key out

When you turn your car off the key will not come out/ if that is the question Then move steering wheel around or jigle it straight first / then turn your key out and before you put your key in put wd 40 on the end of key just a little and keep moving that around/ These vehicles are notorius for the key but the main thing to remember is to get the sterring wheel straight across / Please rate my response thank you very much

Put the brakeon while trying to turn the key, also try turnin the steering wheel, I know it is locked but just put a little pressure on it it should move one way or the other a half inch. If it's standard be sure to put the clutch pedal in as well.

I put oil on the key and put it in the ingnition, then moved the key till it moved,
then put a little more oil on the key.
