The ignition just needed to be wiggled a little to find the right spot. Yesterday, my key wouldn't turn at all. After trying for 20 minutes I finally got it started, but now the gears sound like they grind when turning the steering wheel unless the accelerator is depressed. Any help on this, or even a general idea, would be greatly appreciated.

I have no idea what you are trying to say here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

You should find out why the key isn't turning. Could be a worn out key or the ignition lock cylinder is going bad. As for the noise, can you pinpoint the source of the noise? How are your fluid levels including the power steering fluid? Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.   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
