The key will not turn and neither will the gear shifter. It appears that the shifter is in park, but I feel like its just out of gear. We tried turning the wheel, rocking the car back and forth while wiggling the shifter, and colorful language. Any other ideas? iamtheguynoodles Novice Nov 28, 2011, 5:37 PM Post #2 of 4 (1157 views) Re: Key won't turn Sign In That has happened to my car and it was a fuse. Maybe this will work for you. Maybe worth checking. edit: SOrrry this only applies to the shifting if the key won't turn I can only think that it's the wheel lock I can Do IT (This post was edited by iamtheguynoodles on Nov 28, 2011, 5:40 PM) Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 28, 2011, 5:37 PM Post #3 of 4 (1154 views) Re: Key won't turn Sign In You probably have a bad ignition lock but try pulling hard back and forth on the wheel while trying the key. If it doesn't work, then it's going to have to come apart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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.

Maybe worth checking. There is no fuse that will prevent the key from turning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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.   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
