Check for worn wires under the dash shorting on the steering shaft
replace the ignition switch --not the key barrel and tumbler
SOURCE: 1997 sentra ignition locked
With the key in the ignition, tap on the key with something heavy like a pair of pliers, screwdriver etc. It will cause the pin inside the mechanism to drop, and the iginition will turn. Happened to me today, worked like a charm.
SOURCE: 1998 Grand Cherokee, Sloopy/ loose sterring wheel over 50mph
check the steering linkage and idler arm pitman arm for play
SOURCE: 2002 deville wont start
Something is broken in the steering column. It sound like the ignition rack is broke.
SOURCE: trouble starting
I tried the following and it works for me like a charm I push the key gadget in halfway, wait for the first light on left to go out and then push it in slightly further until all lights and bells are silent and then I push it in the whole way and it starts right up. I am not getting VW to replace this to the tune of $1800.....this fix works just fine!
SOURCE: My 97 F250 wont shift out of park? Engine starts,
most likely your brake switch is out. If you had a scanner you would be able to see if the computer see's you pressing on the pedal. Or if you know how to test you could check to see if it switches ( completes the circuit ).
