I drove my car and parked it at my house. I shut my car off after putting it in park took out the key. Later I went out to try to start it and it will not move past the off position. my steering wheel moves freely my gear shifter will not move. all these videos say it needs to be in the on position to change it or replace it. what if I can't get past off position no matter what I do? Please help me.

Hey BOBBI STARK ELLIS,

There is a method to replace the lock cylinder while it is stuck in the off position.

Please first read through the guide below and work through the steps:

Let me know how you go and if you can get it working i will run you through the replacement.
