This is a security feature actually , turn your steering wheel to a 9 pm position , jiggle steering wheel and jiggle key in ignition at same time , ignition jams up and locks , it is a security thing usually happens when you exit it a car by putting force on steering wheel to propel you out of car
Hi there's this website something like reliable-store and it is very amazing for manual for repairing servicing anything
someone on fixya recommended it to me and I thank him even today
They have full manuals and it's verrrrry cheap and mine
I got free in offers
3rd time I bought it, I also had an issue with the file so the girl replaced it in 30 mins
there is one website more but i don't remember its name it was 2 years back bitman something link this
Try these out brother
I think you should try this website big-manuals . It helps you repair your vehicle easily without more help. Ask the girl in chat at the bottom of the page
Is it a manual transmission? I know some of the older
Saabs need the transmission in reverse to get the key out. Try wiggling the shifter and see if it helps with turning the key.
Nope , what it is that happens is to get the ignition to turn if you exit car with force on steering wheel steering wheel locks ignition , so you have to move steering wheel to 9 oclock position jiggle steering wheel and key simultaneously you could look at youtube videos
