So I hop in my camaro day in and day out and start it up and it, sticks just barely as I start her up, a little tap and ignition pops back into place...


Today....

I put key in and go to turn and it feels tight and doesnt want to budge at all, I attempt to remove key, stuck, I tug a little harder....It pops out I shrug and put key back in and it slides in fine..

Steering wheel is locked in place and ignition WILL NOT budge...

What in the heck do I do? Replace the cylinder? Is there a quicker fix?

 

shake the wheel side to side when you turn the key

 

I did both sides, held it to each side, jiggled it to each side even had my buddy rock the car while I shook the wheel and tried to turn the ignition... Nadda.

 

hmmm, is your key really worn?

 

Yes, its fairly old.

 

Go get a new key made tommorow. I will punch my self in the gut if it was that simple. LOL.

 

could be. i had a car that was doing close to the same thing, used my other key (brand new) and it was good as new.

 

Will give it a try tommorow and update. Maybe my car is mad at me? The other day I was googling how to install a toggle switch and push button starter to avoid a key in the ignition. Maybe its mad for making threats against its originality.

 

lol a push button start still requires the key

 

Even with the toggle switch for standby? Hmmm Well guess thats what I get for taking everyones word for gospel.
