Help - Ignition Key wont turn
After turning the steering wheel a few times and jiggling the key it finally worked - the ignition seems very loose - anyone else have this problem? I tried it when I got home and it happened 3 out of 5 times...

Had this problem for months and after reading several post on this forum, I replaced the ignition switch (About $75) solving the problem - beore this I replaced the battery and it did not help.

Anyone else have a problem with the key not turning? I am thinking it is the steering wheel lock more than the switch - any other input would be greatly appreciated
