Ignition lock cylinder question
Ignition lock cylinder question
I went to leave my house last night and my key would only turn a little bit.
I worked it a little bit and I now can turn it to the accessory.
My question is what are the chances it is the lock cylinder and not the column assembly?
Also my Hanes says I have to take the steering wheel off to change the lock cylinder is this correct ?
Any help would be great.
I have it park on the street and if it is there over night I will get a ticket.

try a new key cut from vin from the local dealership. sometimes it is nothing more than wear on the key. should cost less than ten dollars to have a new one cut by vin. cheap fix that works about 50% of the time
