I can't get my Dodge neon key to turn in the ignition help me

Does the light work when you first turn the key? Does it come on? Check your ignition wires for arching also make sure you don't have a pool of oil in the spark plug tubes.

It sounds like your ignition tumbler is going back or your ignition switch. Hopefully this helps you out and gives you a place to start looking. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. Good luck.

Check that the immobiliser (if installed) is working correctly

Hold ignition in start position, and move selector back and forth in Park.

ignition has bent pins

once key turns take car to lock smith for repair they can sand the pins once fixed remove some of the keys off your ring do not remove key b4 turning after wacking the thing with malat
failing this call mobile lock smith they are still cheeper than dealer and can fix on sight

new ignition from dealer 200 bucks cost to install it at dealer 200 bucks

locksmith will usually charge 50 - 125 to fix curent ignition 125 would include mobile visit usually

if you turned the key with the ignition with the imobilizer, you now have to get the right ignition and a new PCM because the PCM now thinks the car has SKIM (imobilizer)

Have you checked the starter relay on the fuse panel? Hope it helps. Good luck

Hello, you could pick up one of those little containers of lock deicer and lubricant and spray it in the key lock. From the description the key lock works intermetiatly. After you put the spray in work the key in and out a few times and work at turning the lock. While your trying to turn the key try moving it in and out slightly. Your key lock might just be freezing up from lack of use.

Sounds like the ignition cylinder is jambed, if you remove the covers and put the key in, you might be able to turn it with pliers, just turn it to the accessories position, then there is a small metal clip that pushes in, push it in and pull the lock cylinder out of place, get a new one from the dealer and reverse to install. If it's above you, your dealer can help, usually about an hours labour or so.
Hope that helps, Good luck

try turning the steering wheel either way at the same time that you try to get the key out
