My key for isuzu does not turn the steering or start.

Pull the shell left and right while trying to turn the key the lock is preventing it from turning

you need an ignition switch. One way to figure it out is to turn the key to engage the starter, quickly........over and over, the "catch and start" will happen with no change and suddenly, its engaged. Or, keep the key in the START position, don't let up on it and hit the steering column with your fist, or the steering wheel. It may just be shorting out.

This is very common bad starter, replace the starter and the problem will be solved, some of these isuzu starter are a pain to replace, good day

TRY MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE SAME TIME TRY TO PULL THE KEY OUT

Try moving the Steering Wheel, put a little muscle into it. Some vehicles have a steering column lock that prevents the key from being turned if in the locked position

Firstly, if your steering wheel will rotate about an inch, while in the locked position, do the following:

1) swing the wheel as far as it goes, then hold it tightly in position (it may want to return back to position, butdon't let it go!)

2) insert key into ignition, and turn key to "ON", not start.

3) see if steering wheel will now release...


Please advise if this works...

If no, then need to go to next step...

Await your response....

this cars have safety feature on the steering column, there is a signal emitter that works with the key of your car, that will only work with your key on your steering column and it sends a signal to your ecm so you can start your car, so if u changed that engine u must have changed the ecm that does not work with the sistem on your streering column, u need to have reprogrammed your key and signal emitter on the steering column so the signal to the ecm is the right one, u need to take ur car to a dealership so they can do the work
take care, hope this helps

Its a wiring problem

sort of a solution. if you can get the ignition to turn to the off position there is a pin under it you can push and pull the whole thing out and start it with a screwdriver. or you can take out one screw from behind the ignition on the little black thing and you can start it with anything. i'm not sure if that will unlock the steering column though. hope this helps

Hold steering wheel in direction you turned it, force it same way while turning ignition key to on / start position.
Be careful not to break key!
