I can't turn the key in the ignition(it does not turn at all, not even to the accessory position). This has happened before, but every other time I was able to get it to work in a few minutes. My car has been stuck like this for two days, and I need to get to work tomorrow. If anyone knows how to fix this I would be very appreciative. carjunky Enthusiast Apr 11, 2005, 2:21 PM Post #2 of 3 (3665 views) Re: ignition trouble Sign In Jackie, Is the steering wheel locked? Try turnig the steering wheel so that it becomes locked, then try to turn the key. Also try turning the key while turning the wheel. You can also try pushing the key in and trying to start the car, some times cars having key locks and you just need to play with them a little bit. Good Luck, Let us know if this worked... jackie_m New User Apr 11, 2005, 2:37 PM Post #3 of 3 (3660 views) Re: ignition trouble Sign In The steering wheel is not locked. I've even put a little WD-40 in the ignition switch, but that hasn't helped at all. I've also tried using both sets of keys with no success. more info- The car is a 99 grand am, with over 150,000 miles on it. I had it completely checked out at 140,000 and there were no problems at that time. The only other current problem is that one of the oxygen sensors(i believe it is the downstream one) is bad and needs to be replaced.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
