2005 Blazer key won't turn in the ignition

I put the key in the ignition and the key won't turn forward or into auxillary power. i have a standard but I can't even try to roll the truck because the steering wheel is locked and can't turn the key far enough to unlock it?? Had this happen 2 years ago and it all of a sudden started working and had no problems until now again..I had it checked out when it first happened and no-one could figure out why! please help I need my truck

You may want to try to slightly push / pull your vehicle to take weight / tension off the transmission, which in turn will allow you to turn the steering wheel enough to see if the ignition switch can be turned.

SOURCE: hello, my steering wheel is

All you need to do is turn your steering wheel to the left all the way till it stops then put your key in while still holding the steering wheel to the left, turn the key to the on position this should release your steering wheel!

SOURCE: ignition key won't turn

Sometimes it is the key. On certain vehicles the key has a small chip in it and over time these do get worn out. I would have a locksmith or the dealer cut you another key but please go to a reputable locksmith or dealer. I hope this works for you (it should). If not put another post and I can probably walk you through replacing the cylinder unless you feel more comfortable having a mechanic do it and paying him/her lots of money. Good luck

SOURCE: ignition key won't turn

I had 2 chevy impala's my 2000 model gave me the same problem. Even though it is pricy you must replace the ignition module and the cylinder. If you just replace the cylinder and take it to a locksmith to key it it will work for a while but after a while the problem occurs again and sometimes the car wont even start for about 10 to 20 minutes. After a year of putting up with this problem a friend that works at a chevy dealer suggested this and ended my problems. Good luck!!

Ignition Lock Cylinder Control Actuator
If the vehicle is equipped with a floor mounted console gear shifter, it has a ignition lock cylinder control actuator system in the steering column as an added safety feature. The ignition lock cylinder control actuators purpose is to prevent the steering wheel from being locked when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle may still be moving. The column ignition lock system consists of a ignition lock cylinder control acutator, and a park position switch that is located in the A/T shift lock control switch. The ignition lock cylinder control acutator contains a pin that is spring loaded out to mechanically prevent the ignition key cylinder from being turned to the lock position when vehicle transmission is not in the Park position. If vehicle power is lost, and/or the transmission is not in the Park position the operator will not be able to turn the ignition key to the lock position and will not be able to remove the ignition key from the column.

Won't start. key works in aux position but not when turned all the way

If you have power in aux position(ex.)radio works but doesn't when you put the key in the start position,the ignition switch is bad,the contacts are warn out for starting/cranking&run positions,these are used everytime you start your car,but auxillary is ony used once in awhile(ex.)your sitting listening to music while waiting for someone to come,but if you do have radio in the run position,but no cranking/starting you could have a blown resistor on fire wall or fuse for ignition,or the starter has called it quits,good luck I don't know if the starter is clicking rapid or just one click or just no power not cranking or cranking a better description of everything that happens will make this alot easier

Stuck eldorado key in DTS ignition now car won't start

Make sure your steering wheel isn't locked. Sometimes a key won't turn until you jiggle the wheel while trying to turn the key.

1997 Blazer, had key in forward position and battery gauge was good and dash lights on. Relays on firewall got moved and lost all power. How do I restore?

I would sugest the problem lies with the ignition switch or barrel if you can't move the key. I would 1st remove the switch from the barrel & turn with screwdriver to see if it operates.

No power to truck, key locked in ignition

Is the battery dead? try charger, battery is okay but when you turn key nothing happens and key is jammed? Key won't turn? not much information you provided, but if key not working and battery is good sounds like the ignition cylinder has failed and needs replacing, i would not recommend for a novice as dis-assembly is and reassembly is not easy and requires a few special tools and if mistakes are made could attivate air bag, deactivate air bag or short electronic components
