Q: Key want turn
I put my key in the iginition and it want turn
Hi there:
If you insert the key and it won’t turn on your vehicle, it’s caused by one of two things. First, it’s possible that the steering wheel is locked; which sometimes can lock the ignition lock cylinder. Second, it’s possible that the components inside the ignition lock assembly could be damaged, or broken. The best way to determine this is to have a mobile mechanic complete an ignition key does not turn inspection so they can recommend the right repairs be completed.
