KEY WON'T TURN IN IGNITION-HOW TO FIX IT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the key won't turn in the ignition or turns more heavily, it's time to react.

This problem is both annoying and dangerous as it can leave you stranded (you won't be able to start the car).

This is one more repair that you can do on your own, with things found around the household.

All you'll need is some WD-40 spray or an oil can filled with engine oil.

So, before visiting a mechanic or starting to pick apart the lock, take a look at the video tutorial and give it a try.

Thanks for watching and hope the video helps!!

For me, I just needed to move the steering wheel side to side, as you showed.
I was sitting in hot car with groceries melting and you saved me!!
🙏🙏 thank you! 🤗

After watching several other videos with possible fixes for this situation, stranded by the way, this worked. I didn’t have any WD-40 or other spray type lubricant but I did have a partial bottle of lawnmower engine oil in the back. I opened it up got a little on my finger, lubed the key with it and have it a try. Didn’t work, shit! In my mind I’m saying to myself this isn’t gonna work either! The man said try it 2 or 3 times. I hit a little more oil on my finger and lived the key again. Here goes nothin! Gave it a turn and the key moved like nothing was wrong. Thanks a million my friend. I’m gonna go raise a cold one to you.

I was a skeptic at first but sure enough this actually got my neighbors truck to turn over. I was sitting there for over half an hour trying to get it to turnover before seeing this technique. It may not work for everyone, but it worked on a 2001 F150.

Thank you, I was stranded in a rural area in cayman island this morning and I used your method, engine oil on key and it worked like a magic

[PostWazone]

I really appreciate that you made this video. I had the same problem and fixed it in few seconds.

[MyEasyrider]

Thank you very much! This repair worked perfect. I tried everything I could and was about to get it towed to a garage and it would have cost me a lot of money of which my wife and I do not have. We were being told to tear it apart and all kinds of other things. It was so easy. Thank you again. So very appreciative that there is still good people out there that are willing to help others with there video's. I've liked and subscribed. Hope to see more of your video's. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for explaining with such attention to detail . It’s the smallest thing that helps

Hey I just tried what you said about putting the motor oil on the key because I had no wd40. I got the oil from up under my hood, one of the oils there and wet a piece of paper towel. I had been having trouble 2 days with the ignition not cutting off completely and I was feeling terrible knowing it was gonna cost me a small fortune to fix.

I did what you said (lubricated the inside of the lock as well) and it worked!!! I just wanted to say thank you so very much! You have saved me much money!!

My wife had to woke me up because her Ford Expedition key wasn't turning and l went straight to YouTube and your video was the answer...thank you so much for the good advice and may God bless your life!

[michaelchavez]

Thank you so much I was so nervous this morning I woke up to a locked ignition switch I tried to WD-40 and it worked thank

[necurrence]

Thanks for going straight to the point with the video unlike most youtubers. I had frozen groceries in my car and the car was red hot from the sun. I wasn't able to turn the key or the AC for that matter. Not my best day today but your video helped me a huge deal.

[GustavoPelogia]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I’m on my first car and all I needed was to giggle the wheel a little, which I learned from your video. Cheers!

[nvidiamancorp]

Awesome! You just saved me hours and hundreds of dollars in repairs! 😀👍🏻👍🏻

[I_Give_A_F]

Thank you, I was stuck from 20 minutes and you helped me

[Naeromusic]

Thanks dude! Saved me. The ignition switch started being really stiff a few days ago from now being so hard to turn, like even past the ACC part. I put a little bit of engine oil that I had since I had no WD40 or silicone spray/graphene, on paper and smeared it on the key and after a few wiggles and turns it finally loosened and is now smooth as butter!

[louisebikeri]
