I just installed new struts+springs on all four, and never disconnected the battery during the process. Everything appeared to go fine, but when I got in to start+move the car, the ignition switch won't let me turn the key out of the lock position.

Wassupwitdat? I've gotta be missing something simple - suggestions - I want to go somewhere today...

I hope I don't insult you by saying this but is your steering wheel locked(won't move)? If so try to turn the wheel back and forth while turning the key.

 

yeah - it happened to me before........i didnt know what the hell was going on either, and when i called my dad......lol he just cracked up. just move the steering wheel around until the key moves

 

That's exactly what it was. I found it in the manual right before coming back to check the forum again. I suppose it's understandable, considering about 4 people in the US actually use this feature.

This has happened in my moms car, all I did was go out and kick the wheels a few times! Then jerked the steering wheel a few times back and forth. then start it up!

 

yeh this happened to me you just gotta turn it hard or play with the steering wheel
