Key wont turn in ignition. Dont want to hear the key is bent. Tried everything to get it to turn, but wont. It happened earlier today and after 20 minutes of giggling the key it finally turned over. How can i resolve this without buying a new key for $120

Bad Ignition Switch

Failed Battery

Failed Starter

I had this problem and the fix was some type of trigger in the ingnition module was bent or out of place. This trigger is only to make a bell ring when doors are open and the key is in the ignition. What happens is the key doesnt fully engage with this trigger bent in the ignition module, therefore it will not turn. I had a locksmith come fish the trigger out and everything worked fine, except the warning bells. I've learned to live without them.

sounds like a bad connection,it wont heat up the solenoid or the starter,check your hot and negative cables from battery to starter first could be the starter itself, ggod luck

TRY REPROGRAM KEY .PUT KEY IN IGNITION SWITCH TURN IGNITION SWITCH ON POSITION 20 SECONDS DONT START ENGINE WAIT 20 SECONDS TURN OFF SWITCH THEN TURN SWITCH BACK ON 20 SECONDS WATCH THE THEFT SECURITY LIGHT BLINKING.WHEN THEFT STOP BLINKING VECHICLE WILL CRANK.IF LIGHT STILL BLINKING.TRY FEW MORE TIMES KEY IN SWITCH ON POSITION FOR 20 SECONDS.MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT CAR KEYS IN SWITCH IF NOT WRONG SET OF CAR KEYS WILL SET OFF THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM.IF KEY RESETTING TRICK DONT WORK.CHECK BATTERY POWER MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY HAS 12.5 VOLTS AND CHECK SECURITY THEFT FUSE.IF ALL LOOKS GOOD YOUR SECURITY HAS TO BE CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALERSHIP.

I would take it to the dealer to check if the security system is programmed to accept the key which has a chip in it.

I must admit that this has never happened to me, either.

Good luck on this repair.

you need a new ignition, its a common problem ive done a few.hope this helps ( rate me thanks )

oh man, have you tried turn the steering wheel to release tension on the ignition lock at the same time you open the ign??????? other than that either the plunggers inside are broken or your key is bent or bent. good luck

move the steering wheel while turning the key in the ignition and it should come unlocked. This happens sometimes, its just on a bind. Like i said just turn the steering wheel left and right the little bit that you can and the key will be able to turn.

First, clean your battery cables with a wire brush so you know you have a good connection from your battery. If that doesn't do it, it's most likely your starter or selenoid.

your key is probably worn down .try getting a new key made .
