Key won't turn

dclowe · 05-14-2006, 08:31 PM

I have a 1990 Supra and I can't turn the key! Haven't had this trouble before. I have pulled as hard as I can on the steering wheel and made certain that the gear shift is in park but have had no luck. The battery is charged but when I put the key in the ignition it simply will not turn. Any suggestions?

Have you tried turning the wheel to one side or the other and making sure the column isnt locked? If that doesnt work try to push the key in and get it to turn.

Sounds like the ignition cylider has gone 'belly up'.

You can put the key in / out ??

There are little brass pins in there. You'll have to remove it and put a new one in. Check the TSRM. A locksmith may be needed.
