Cannot get key to turn in the ignition lock. Have tried lock lubricant made for car locks. Cannot start up the van because the key will not turn. Turned steering wheel different directions while attempting to turn key. Key refuses to turn. Would very much appreciate diagnosis and solution to the problem.
Repair manuals seem to indicate have to turn key lock to run position to get the llock out. Key will not turn. Help?

Sounds like you need a Ignition Cylinder Switch Lock. You can get them on eBay for $20.00, the only thing is you will have a different key for the door and different key for the ignition. Only reason I know is this happened to me... Eeps!
