I have a 2000 jeep cherokee and i started up my car and it worked fine, then i went into the store came back out and tried to start it up and the key will not turn. i tried turning the steering wheel and know that is locked up. i put the key in the ignition and it wont let me turn it back or forward. any ideas?
SOURCE: steering wheel is locked on 2001 jeep grand cherokee laredo
try gently rocking wheel back an forth while wiggling the key
SOURCE: Lock steering wheel...Key won't turn in the ignition
Make sure to push the brake firmly with you foot. I do this all the time.
SOURCE: A4 steering lock does not engage and car won't turn over
The steering locks don't necessarily engage when the key is removed, I always turn the wheel before exiting to engage it. There are several positions that will allow the pin to lock in but if between these, it may seem that it isn't locked.
SOURCE: ignition key won t turn. steering wheel locked
the key may be worn badly or the ignition needs to be replaced.
