What To Do When Your Key Won't Turn During Ignition by NevetsIbot(m): 10:02pm On Sep 16, 2016 |
So, this night, someone brushEd Dads packed car while claiming he was in an emergency. He almost ran me over and hit another person on the road.... Ontop emergency. So, trying to make a quick check on the engine after washing the car tonight since Dad has a very urgent journey to make tomorrow morning. The key just wouldn't turn. Every other thing was working except the Ignition. The key didn't turn. What happened? When that Bozo brushed the already parked car. It moved the car forward and an automatic car will instantly lock its steering wheel along with the ignition. but, I didn't know. So after panicking for some minutes, I decided to google and I found the solution. And its quite simple. Jig your already locked steering left and right while trying to turn the key. It should unlock the steering and the key should now be able to turn and there you go.. Your car is unlocked. Just decided to share this so everyone can know what to do when a case like this comes up in urgent situations. If I hadn't gotten solution, Dad might probably have to get to Benin late tomorrow cos he was busy paying a mechanic to do something as simple as this.

Its official.our mods have gone crazy. I mean,which car driver doesn't know that the steering can sometimes lock and you can also unlock by turning the steering back and forth while trying the ignition too? For God's sake this is what I knew in jss1. Simply by observing. You see why siena left?? .they were dulling his intellect. I cannot believe a Car Talk mod will do this. They are way too smart for this 16 Likes 1 Share |

I don't see any bad in sharing this, new car drivers emerge everyday. The info is useful for them if not for old drivers. Let's learn how to appreciate. I experienced this at filling station during the last fuel scarcity, it's embarrassing. 15 Likes 1 Share |
