You need to take the pressure off the steering wheel in order to be able to turn the key.
This is especially true if you parked against the curb or something when you last turned it off.
Just grab the wheel and rotate it back and forth as you try to turn the key.

Alarm in my 2002 gmc Sonoma goes off when I open the door with the key. Lost remote. Can I disable the alarm without messing other things up?

Door Key Switch
The BCM monitors the door key switches in order to disarm the CTD system. When the lock cylinder turns in order to unlock the door, the switch grounds the disarm input to the BCM.
The key lock input to the BCM is probably missing , BCM doesn't see it . So it think's your breaking into the vehicle. Did you try the passenger door to see if it will disable the alarm .
The BCM - body control module ! Electronic -computer !

Engine light blinking with bell sound

Hi Edwin, I'm glad to help! Edwin it sounds like the vehicle may have gone into theft alarm mode. If the car doesn't start, Then that is your problem. You might try turning the key in the trunk lock to see if it goes off, if it doesn't try the key in another lock cylinder. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Edwin.
