Key will not turn in ignition

SOURCE: Car wount start. When you turn the ignition key it

check your battery first if that is good and charged 12 volts you have to look at connections at starter could be loose if not then try testing small wire at starter for power while key is in the on position to do this you will need help some one to turn key as if to start power should be at small wire if it is than starter is bad. the clicking coming from under dash is starter relay usually click when low voltage or a short in starter

Testimonial: "You got it right. With single digit weather, the battery was dead. After a long jumpstart it started right up. Greatly appreciate it."

SOURCE: it is not possible to turn the ignition key. what is causing this?

Your english isnt perfect but i am assuming that you insert the key and it turns the ignition on but will not go any further to the start position if this is the case then it could mean a either a new ignition switch or the contact block on the back of the ignition barrel ,usual story if had vehicle in front of me i would soon know what is wrong but from afar ?' no idea try a drop of engine oil down the key hole and work the key back and forewards a bit and see what happens if that fails then ask a local mechanic to have a look for you .
