SOURCE: Saturn SC2 Hot Start Problem

My 1997 SC1 would start fully charged after about 5 minutes of cooling off (same as my Busa). If the vehicle draws lots of bettery energy when the ignition switch is turned (the headlights dim as if the battery was week) and all you her is a "tlock" then more than likely the starter solenoid is sticking when the engine gets hot. Age, as well as wear and tear in the vehicle, would cause for the stater, and the starter solenoid, to weaken. When the engine is cool it will start as if the starter was new, but after driving the car for about 10 minutes the problem starts. The engine running hotter than normal (ie.cooling system problems, diferent muffler system, low oil level), no necesary due to overheating, will add to the problem. My solution was a new stater ($115) and a starter heat wrap ($20), and I never had that problem again :-)

Key won't turn, won't shift from Park

My 2003 Saturn l200 2.2 ecotec did this when the battery was dead. Put some juice on the battery, then the car came out of park, and I was able to remove the key. To the car, there's a vast difference between a sluggish battery and a dead battery. It may have enough amps to crank it, but it wont start w/out full output from the battery.

I own a 2001 L200 and my key will not turn in the ignition switch, the steering wheel is locked. I purchased a new key in hopes that the old one was just worn out, but it does not work either. Ive tried...

The locking mechanism is either beneath the steering wheel or attached to the lock cylinder with a bar that slides into a slot when key is put in lock. Remove the steering column cover and see if you can spot the mechanism. I sawed one of the bars off with a hacksaw once, but it was easy to get to.

2001 ford taurus key won't turn ignition

The steering wheel was turned when the key was removed. So when you try to turn on the key, turn the wheel one way and the other way to release the pressure on the key. The key should turn ok.
Hope this helps.

I can't start my car because my key won't turn, the steering wheel locked up

You have to wiggle the steering from side to side once it is locked. While wiggling it about try to turn the key at the same time.

Key will not turn in ignition????

Try turning key around or use a spare key, make sure steering wheel isn't being forced against the internal lock. Are the wheels against a curb or object? if so turn steering wheel to relieve pressure on ignition lock.
other wise lock cylinder maybe worn out and will need replaced. Good luck!

Key won't turn in the ignition

Check to see if your key is an original or if it has been re-keyed by a locksmith. I had a similar problem with my 2001 L200 and it was preventing me from getting to work on time. So I took it to Saturn, they gave me an original key, and it's worked like a dream ever since. I bought another keyless remote because my car was a repo and that was why I didnt have an original, and it was about $80.00 for both about 2 years ago. I hope that helps.

Try turning your steering wheel while turning the key. Sometimes the wheel lock will prevent the key from turning.
