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.

How much did it cost to have the new swich put in? where you able to use the old keys

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
