Steering wheel locked, cant turn ignition Sign In

95 subaru legacy wagon
THi has happened to me before, but I dont remember what i did to fix it.
I mistakenly turned the wheel to the right, and now it is locked. I cannot turn the ignition, norturn the wheel back to the left at all.
I have work soon, so I need to get it fixed fast.

Try to pull it farther to the right as you are turning the key. You can usually free the key if you can get the steering wheel to move just a little more to the same direction.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

W2O is correct . Sometimes if the car's front wheels are in a bind you may have to jack up the front to relieve tension
