Ignition key not turning? (Stuck)

This is internal steering coluum part failure.

Have you tried a different key? I have seen them wear out. If you have and it still won't turn, chances are the tumbler has gone bad.

Will the ignition switch turn on? When the switch is in the on possition the steering wheel is locked? You can only use a factory type key on these vehicles as they have a chip in the key. The copy may have damaged the lock cylinder. Get back to me.

Now the copy key may make it chime but is don't have the chip to allow it to start. I am guessing that you got a bad copy and it has damaged the lock cylinder and may need to be replaced. Now once replaced then it will need to be programmed so the car will start. Now I also need to know if this is column shift or floor shift? If it is floor shift it may be the linkage and such that allows the switch to work it looks like there is a problem with it. Get back to me.

First of all thank you very much for the donation. Look's like you have two separate problem's let's start with the starting when you turn the key and the starter won't kick over. That sound's like a bad ignition switch which has your passlock sensor built into it. When they go bad they some time's cause the car to go into anti theft mode and not start. The way you can tell for sure that you have a bad switch is go to a shop and have them read your body control module code's. If you have a B2960 and or B3033 then you need a new ignition switch. There not hard to replace and it's pretty common for them to fail they redesigned them like 3 or 4 time's already for that problem. Now on your other concern of you can't turn the key off till you play with the shifter. What happens there is there is a little micro switch on your shifter that close's when your shifter is in park. That allows your key to turn off when they go bad which I have replaced a lot of bad ones it cause's the key to not turn off. The only thing you have to worry about is making sure the switch is being closed by the shifter when the car is in park.I have seen some of the car's that have sticky shifters cause that problem. It's mostly the bad switch's though. The switch come's as a wire harness that includes your shifter indicator light the micro switch and your solenoid that keep's you from taking the car out of park when your foot isn't on the brake. It's not hard to replace that harness if your handy with car's you have to remove the center console. Let me know if you have any more question's.

So the key only goes back to the acc postion?Can u open the door on the underside of the column and turn the key off that way?If the answer is yes to those two questions then u most likely have a bad micro switch on ur shifter assembley or ur shifter isn't moving all the way back up to hit the micro switch correctly. Try playing with button or moving the shifter around see if it turns off then.U will probably have to remove the console and take a look at that micro switch and shifter and see what the problem is. Let me know what u find.
