Key will not turn over

I have a 2000 Lincoln Navigator. The key will not turn over in the ignition, it goes in fine, but it will not turn. The steering wheel is locked, so I tried moving it back and fourth while turning the key, but no go. I also tried wiggling the key around in the ignition, and I cleaned the key off, but nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Check to make sure gear shift is in Park. Rock the steering wheel hard without the key in. Try the key...you may have to hold the steering wheel all the way in one direction and try or the other direction and try. Good luck. Sometimes the steering wheel lock does not line up when you removed the key.

SOURCE: 2000 lincoln Navigator air suspension

There are level control sensors they look like little arms (with joints like your elbows) mountesd on lower control arms. They may be at fault they control the height and turn the pump off when the height is reached. try adjust height first before you replace, they can be adjusted. Good Luck

Make sure that you have brake lights. It has a shifter interlock solenoid in the console that is activated when ever the brake lamps are on.

2000 Lincoln navigator will not start

Presumably you disconnected the battery when you did the fuel pump and PCM? It also looks like the PCM has to be programmed with the VIN Number.

To reset the 2000 lincoln navigator anti-theft system press and hold any button on your remote within 20 seconds of the eighth turn. Hold the button for as long as 20 seconds until the locks automatically click and release. Remove the key from the ignition to stop the reset cycle.

What would cause the engine to not turn of when removing the Ignition key on a 2003 Navigator.

sticking relay contacts in the PCM power relay , maybe . It's located in the central junction box . That is the inside the vehicle fuse box. That relay supply's power to the engine computer , ignition system , fuel etc.... If the contacts are stuck closed or sticking the engine would keep running with key off .

2000 lincoln navigator will not start when I turn the key over but will start when I bump it at the solenod

If you are bypassing the solenoid when you "bump" it, the solenoid probably needs replacing.
If you are shorting to the small terminal and activating the solenoid, then the solenoid is OK and either the ignition switch or the wiring connecting the switch to the solenoid are faulty.

How to you program the remote fob on a 1998 lincoln navigator

Put the key into the ignition, turn to accessories & back ( about 7 times) until the locks go up and down on their own,
then press the buttons on both of the key fobs.
Then remove the key.

They should both be working and by removing the key from the ignition, you will have closed the program cycle which then is complete.

Problems with Gearshift 2004 Lincoln Navigator

Turn the key forward a notch then it should come out. If you are turning the key all the way off it enables the accessories (radio etc), locks the key in the ignition and disables the gear shifter.
If thats not the case then there is a button to be depressed so that the key can turn anticlockwise>off another click and the key can be removed.
It'll be one or the other....faulty ignition lock is the only other diagnosis
