We have a Plymouth Grand Voyager SE. Yesterday the ignition key would not turn. We tried 2 different keys with no luck. We have a remoter started and that started the car.

Try tapping the lock cylinder with the plastic end of a screwdriver and then insert the key and try to start. Try this several times. If the key ends up turning replace the ignition lock cylinder immediately.

The key needs to be in the accessory or run position in order for the retainer button on the lock cylinder to release. If the key will not turn than the retainer button will need to be drilled out to remove the lock cylinder.

This problem is pretty common in 99 and older Chrysler products across the board.

1998 Plymouth grand voyager ignition won't turn

I have had this happen on my 98 Voyager. Just have a new key cut. This new key will sometimes cure the problem. The older keys get worn out and won't unlock the ignition. Try this before a much more expensive and time consuming change of the ignition.

It does sound like the ignition is bad. Try jiggling the key a little as you turn it. The parts in side may be or have worn out. Also, put your foot on the brake, put the car in neutral, and then try to turn the key. If this dosnt work then you need a new ignition.

I have a 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE, 3.3 ltr Engine, All Systems turn on when key is turned on, but engine won't turn over, Check all relays and are good, new that is proven good, Brown wire to staer...

You need a wiring diagram before you start and get out your meter. How did you check out the relays? Remove them,power up the coils and read OHM's across all contacts or use the buzzer on the meter? You missed one The fact the solenoid is good doesn't mean the contacts inside aren't burnt and not applying current to the starter motor. We over look the easy stuff most of the time. Did you do a voltage drop test on the starter while trying to crank? A new solenoid may be all you need.
