When I tried to turn my car on at work, I had to turn the key a few times to get it to turn on, but it eventually worked. When I tried turning my car on the next day, it would not work at all. I have a key-fob and a valet key inside of it. I tried using the valet key but that did not turn also. I have also tried wiggling the steering wheel and turning the key but that has not worked. The steering wheel is not locked. Is the problem that I just need a new ignition lock switch? I have checked fuses and changed them out and nothing works. The only light that comes on when I put the key-fob in is the key and oil light.

Hello,

It sounds like the ignition key tumbler is worn out and needs replacement. Here are some diagrams (below) to help you get the job done.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
