npanne Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Anyone know why the steering lock / ignition switch would jam?I went to turn the wheel the other day, but the lock is engaged, and I can't get the key to turn to release it. It feels more jammed than stuck, if that makes sense - it feels like when you need to jiggle the wheel whilst turning the key to release it, but I can't get it loose - am I missing something obvious?

thescrapman Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Down by your knees or in teh side of teh column?Both have "issues"Probably a pin has dropped out so your key is no longer the ocrrect oneI can certainly assist with a replacement down by you knees.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npanne Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Down by the knees type.I should have mentioned - the column is currently disconnect from the rack, and pushed up a bit for clearance - it it possible that I've trapped (or bent) part of the mechanism that engages with the column?Hopefully should get in the garage tonight, so may be able to see more then.

don cook1 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 ColinBit off thread but I've noticed that when you type 'the' it always seems to come out as 'teh' are you dipslikstick or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Don, he's not teh only one ;D I keep putting spaces between th e"h" and "e" too.Steering lock, if stuck (ha ha) I may be able to help. But a god squirt of wd40 and wiggling may do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
