SOURCE: My Car will not start, the key wont turn at all

THe tumblers in the ignition cylinder are probably worn therefore won't alow you to turn the key. Try inserting the key and jiggle it around while you are trying to start it. Sometimes it will work.

SOURCE: ignition lock up. cannot turn key when inserted.

Have you tried pulling on your steering wheel at the same time you turn the key? Are you up against a curb? Try pulling it both ways. Push gearshift firmly into park and try it. It could be the safety switch in your counsel is faulty.

SOURCE: Nothing works,(radio, lights, locking/unlocking

Almost sounds like a fuse of some sort, maybe a all power relay, also try looking at the battery and see if all the electrical wiring are properly in place.

SOURCE: have to turn key several times before car starts

Check oil pressure regulator, the likelihood is oil pressure, pressure relief, need multiple times ignition, re-established oil pressure.

99 malibu, key won't turn in ignition (it's new cylinder and casing that worked fine before I changed gear shift back to park and connected the battery)

Shake ya sterring wheel from side to side and try turning ya key. The lock could be stuck and needs to be freed up. This should do the trick.

I have a 99 Suburban. Sterring wheel is locked and will not unlock to turn key.

Some times just putting pressure on the steering wheel either left or right turnwill allow the key to be turned. What happens is corrosion sets up and does not allow the steering wheel to turn completely to its index position. Just jiggling it back an forth will allow it to index. After you get it to turn properly, squirt a little WD-40 into the key hole and work the steering back and forth while turning the key.

Key to my impala will not turn at all.

first make sure you are all the way in park or neautral, if it is out just a little bit then the key won't turn. If that's not the problem it may be the position your sterring wheel is locked in, try turning the key while rocking the steering wheel back and forth.

My key is locked in the ignition and won't turn. Have moved the sterring wheel but still can't start vehicle

Toyota trucks are nortorious with ingnition problems,spay some wd-40 in the key hole as best you can and move key up and down in rocking motion and turn wheel back and forth as you do this and hopfuly it will turn. if it dont than get the whole ingintion out and try to buy a new one, Ebay perhaps might have one more reasonable for price.

Removing steering wheel 1987 bmw 325

first you need to remove the horn button use a flat screwdriver to pop it out then get the right size socket and remove the large nut you see after the horn button is removed be careful this nut will be pretty tight easier to keep the sterring wheel locked when breaking this nut loose .after you get the nut removed insert the key into the ignition and turn the key to unlock the steering wheel you will not be able to pull the steering wheel off if it is locked now you have to be careful not to hit yourself as the wheel will suddenly just come loose sometimes it will take some muscle other time will come right out but you will have to try to rock it with both hands gripping it on 2 sides rocking it back and forth and should come out

Locked steering wheel

Try having someone rock the car frontwards and backwards, while you rock the steering wheel back and forth and try to turn the key - it sounds like you're jammed up hard against the steering column lock.

06 saturn ion has key stuck in ignition

Make sure it's in Park (if automatic). If so, or if it is a manual, turn the steering wheel (even if it's locked in) and the key will release.
