Just want to check to see if I was missing anything that might be obvious before I start ripping and tearing to replace anything.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After inserting my ignition key I cannot turn it to start the car. (this problem has occurred "intermittently" before and I was able to clear it by jerking the steering wheel one way, and then the other allowing the ignition key to then turn) The steering wheel is now locked up, and jerking the wheel to the left and right does not work. Please advise what my next steps should be in correcting/isolating this problem. (I have two ignition keys and they both behave in the same manner) Just want to check to see if I was missing anything that might be obvious before I start ripping and tearing to replace anything. Please advise.....

POST 2Original post

Need to replace the switch. may just be the electrical portion which is cheap and easy. Cheers

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Jeff....that is on my list but would that cause the ignition switch to not turn at all? Seems like a tumbler issue me....Larry

POST 4Original post

Yes pull the electrical part off of the back and then see if the key turns.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
