1992 g class / ignition key wont turn
Hi
The ignition key only turns half way to 1 but I can not turn it further, all the way to 1 or 2.
This has never been a problem before, usually smooth to turn on.
Am I missing something?
My partner called me out over 20 miles because her steering lock wouldn't work. It turned out the weight of the steering was still on the steering lock
A swift wiggle of the steering released it, I take it you've done this?
If it is not as suggested above, it may be that the electrical switch attached to the ignition lock has become faulty / jammed .... Or it could be that the ignition lock barrel is worn. It is very easy to change the barrel if you can turn the key to the 1st position, but you must first order a new barrel from your local dealer.
Try squarting somwe WD40 in teh lock and gently ease your key left and right, but don't force it !
Since you mentioned that the key turns 1/2 way to position 1, try the above suggestions, but don't discount a jammed or stuck electrical switch. Thi s can be removed from the lock for testing
