Jerk the wheel back and forth while trying to turn the key

If the key does not turn at all in the ignition tumbler then your going to need to drill a hole in the side of the steering lock in order to manually release the steering lock and remove it complete with the ignition tumbler attached. If you get a new steering lock you can examine it to see exactly where to drill the hole and how to manually release it. If the key does turn at least to position 1 then all you need is the removal pins that slide into the small holes around the face of the tumbler. If there are no holes then once the key is in position 1 all you have to do is turn the tumbler housing to the left until is unscrews. Let me know if you need any further assistance on the removal if the key is stuck.

The steering may be torque locked with the ignition lock.... pull hard on steering wheel in one direction and then try it.... if not try to pull the steering wheel in the other direction... happens all the time... Hope it's that simple! let me know how you make out and we'll go from there

put the key in the ignition push the lock button on your keyfob, pull the key out while holding down the lock button and press the unlock button 5 times. check the battery in the key if it has a built in fob.

check the key itself if the blade is worn out then it won't push back all the tumbler keys not allowing the tumbler to turn. try a newer key and replace the ignition tumbler asap..

Try pressing the key down little bit while you are trying to turn it towards ignition, at the same time slowly turning the steering wheel clockwise and counter clockwise ( it's locked but it still moves a little bit), it should release the steering wheel lock. hope it helps
p.s please rate the answer if you found it helpful, i need it for my ratings, thanks!

try shaking the steering wheel while you are turning the key. I have the same problem all the time. Not sure on the column removal phone the dealer,
