Good morning,
Well I got the help I needed here before so I am back again. I have a 2001 Blazer, last night about midnight when I came out from work i got in the blazer put the key in and it won't come out of the lock position. I t won't turn at all. Does this mean I will have to haxe a new ignition put in. There is a dealership right down the road that I can have it towed to but waas wondering if anyone had any ideas. I HATE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP!
Any input would be apprecciated
Thanks
Suz

 

Did you try wiggling the steering wheel? I have seen where sometimes the steering is bound up when you've turned the vehicle off and the steering pin in the column has resistance on it. Pulling on the steering wheel will aleviate the resistance and should allow you to turn the key.

Can you turn it backwards into the ACC position?

 

yes we tryed wiggling the steer wheel as much as we could with it in the lock position and it will not turn either way thanks for the reply though guess I'll have to get someone over there tomarrow to look at it to find out what it is.

Your tire is not up against the curb or anything is it?
