Solution for Ignition key won't turn/stuck (Most vehicles that use a key) #29 

I've sat here for 30 minutes turning the wheel and everything I could think of. I watch your video for 30 seconds and my truck turns over like magic. You've saved my day!

Life saver! Freaked out was almost about to call my insurance then remembered I didn't have any.

Thank you. I was getting so frustrated and my battery level on my phone was down to 2%, I said a prayer and watched your video and it worked!

The first time this happened to me I was stuck in a parking lot at a Walgreens and discovered I had accidentally left my cell phone at home. Out of desperation, I went into Walgreens and found a man standing in line at the photo counter who offered to come out and see if he could fix it. When I described the problem, he seemed to know what to do. He showed me how to fix it and it is exactly what you explain here. What a relief and I was so grateful for the help. This happened to me again today and I remembered what to do to solve the problem myself. I know your video was posted long ago but I am so glad you are getting the word out to save other people from the aggravation. Thanks.

Thank you so much, I was stuck in a parking lot at 1AM and didn’t know what to do. You are a lifesaver!

Wow. Thank you so much. I’ve been stuck in this gas station for like 30 minutes watching RU-vid videos on how to fix this. I followed your directions and it started up on the first try

Thank you so much for this video you just saved me from being stranded at the grocery store with my 2 year old son in the freezing cold I never leave reviews but you sure did help us get home quickly without a tow!

You can add me to the list of hundreds whose day was saved by this video. Thanks a million!!!!

Thank you! And thank you for getting straight to the point. So many RU-vid videos start out with like 10 minutes of talking before they get to the point. You answered it right away.

i was sitting in a parking lot crying my eyes out at 4:30 am trying to get to work. bless you.

I Just Now Got Stuck In This Parking Lot And I Looked Up Any Video Suggestions And This Video Popped Up And Saved My Life 🤣🤣🙌🏾 Thank You 😊

Omg !!!! Life saver I was freaking out and sweating 😓 and all other videos are just people talking non stop without getting to the point of any solution. Love videos like yours ! Straight to the point and actually helpful

This video saved me. I was crying tears of joy when my car finally started.

Thank you!!! I had a rental car after having to get my car jumped one day and towed the next, thought I had gotten myself into another mess. Saved my life 🙏

My steering wheel was locked for days someone broke into and stole my airbag. I couldn't move the car. I used this method and holy crap it worked. Thank you man. Taking it to the dealer

Omg. Thank you so much. Was just in a burlington parking lot. With my 2011 kia soul. I did the push start and couldn't turn my key when i put in the ignition. And when I did what he said it worked. Thank you sir . you are a life savior in 2020

Thanks so much...was stuck at gas station for 45 mins...then I thought of RU-vid 😁

Best man ever... thank you!! I was about to be late for work .. not all hero’s wear capes ❤️

Wow!!! Thanks. You are a guardian angel! I was stuck at a restaurant and when I saw this tried it to the left nothing. Went to the right and it worked!!!

Thanks so much for this tip! My husband had borrowed my moms car and this happened to him on his way out of work. He was so frustrated thinking we might have to tow the car. I looked up your video, explained it to my husband and success!!! Now we'll never forget!

dude I love you!!!!! I was so fucked up cuz I been for about 20 mins having the exact problem in a parking lot, watched this video and it worked at the first try....

Fixed my problem literally by doing exactly what he did. Thank you.

Hi, just wanted to say thanks ive been stuck in my car for ages debating getting a recovery vehicle out. Saved me a lot of money, thanks for the video!

Thank you, worked immediately. Was freezing in parking lot. Someone wasn't answering their phone. Saved me a tow and probably non existant repairs. Thanks again!

You just saved my life! I want to also add that if you turn your wheel too far that locks up for sit a little bit more in that direction and it will still work because that's what mine did. Thank you thank you thank you! Thought I was going to have to get a tow truck or something

thank you so much! you saved me a tow this morning. never had this happen before today. your awesome thanks again : )

This worked for me after seeing about 10 videos that didnt work. Thank you.

I just had a long day at work, and it was time to go and my key wouldn't turn for the life of me, thank you so much

Thank you so much. I thought I would have to get a whole new key ignition!!!!

Four years later and this video is still so useful. Thank you so much

Thank you. I mistakely locked my car's steering wheel. I freaked out for hours thinking of a way. Your hack helped.

Homie is a genius cause I'm not. This literally happened to me just now 😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much this worked right away. I was searching other videos and they had videos that were 12 and 15 minutes long not even fixing the issue. I found your video it was no longer than two minutes and my car ignition turned right away. Thank you I love you I am a new subscriber!!!

Thank you so much. Stuck in a jcpenny parking lot, watched this, and it worked. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

Worked on first try, thank you so much!

Thanks a lot Sir God bless!you have really helped me out

This had nothing to do with our problem but the video helped us so much because we realized the car wasn’t in park and you mentioned it at the beginning of the video!

Wow! Thank you so much! You saved me after my car key would not turn on a hot day with a car full of groceries. Life saver!!

Note! If your front wheels are pointing straight ahead (and not turned, this will NOT help you). This situation occurs regularly to many unsuspecting vehicle owners/drivers, who "turn their steering wheels" sharply just before turning off their ignition keys (like in a parking lot). After the driver turns off their ignition key, the wheel "twists back" up against the antitheft feature built into the steering column. In an unintended way, this holds onto the lock cylinder through its linkage, preventing the operator from turning the ignition key successfully until the "torsional load" is removed from the steering input shaft (by turning the steering wheel the other way). The system works great, until this happens. Luckily, you can get out of this situation easily.

WHO ELSE WAS STUCK AND HAD A TEST TO TAKE SOON. SAVIOR.

I’m from the Bay Area and my suv was doing this and I found this video it worked it just turned on thanks a lot

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you ,you saved my life. I tried this and it worked it is 9:30 p.m. and I am in the worst area of the city where I live and Lord I did not need to be staying over here by myself this late. Thank you very much

Saved my life if I’m ever rich and famous contact me and I’ll send you money or something.

If your situation matches what I'm showing, then the following words will likely be true..... If you go and LOOK at the front wheels of your vehicle, and they are, for example, pointing to the left, then get into your vehicle and physicality turn your steering wheel slightly "more" to the left, while at the same time turning the key! If the key turns, that means the ignition lock theft lock system was jammed against the ignition lock cylinder. If you look at the front wheels, and they are turned to the right, then you will need to hop in the vehicle, and proceed to turn the steering wheel slightly "more" to the right...... Hold the wheel, and turn the ignition key. I hope this helps.

Thank you... Was stuck in the parking lot!

I’ve been sitting in the street mad as heck for so long and watched this and it worked instantly

Your video helped! Thanks! Now off to Burger King! That salted Carmel shake is going to go down.

I've known of this for a couple decades, but what about when your key won't turn regardless of how the wheel is turned?

Had this exact problem in my wife's car just now and this video just simplified my entire life. Thank you!

THANK YOU!!! I thought i was gonna be stuck in the cold all night. Your a life saver, thanks again..

You are a freaking BOSS ❤️

My ignition needed about three days of a treatment of WD40 to finally stop locking. It has not locked since.

Thanks-A-Mil!! This happened to my 2008 Nissn Maxima this morning. Fortunately, I have a backup vehicle. My plan was to get it towed to a shop this weekend. I tried this and my car cranked within seconds. Thanks again!!

Omg, Thank you, your video showed me how to unlock the ignition. I was stuck in a parking lot outside a nail salon! Now, I can drive on out of here.

I love you!!! Hero of the day, saved my life! Or at least I'm not stuck anymore thanks to you 😘

Thank you. Was sitting in the car stuck. Thank you again

This worked for me today on my works van. I was somewhere I wasn't technically supposed to be so thank you 😅

I just finished washing my car at one of those self service stations and it’s really late at night and I was freaking out! Life saver!

Omg bro you saved my life, I snuck out with my dads car and I got stuck at the Burger King parking lot 😂

You saved my car from being towed thank you so much sir

This problem has been driving me absolutely nuts. Thank you so much!

This is awesome! We have the 2006 fx45 infinity with the electronic fob, intelligent starting mechanism. It started on the first try. I have told my wife to let the steering wheel relieve itself from stress, while turning into our driveway, before turning the engine off.

My mom and I are Black Friday shopping and have a wedding an hour and a half away to be at by 10 and the key wouldn't turn so we were freaking out a bit. THANK YOU DUDE!!

Great help , I was stuck and had no clue about what to do and then this video that changed the mood , thanks sir for the wonderful help

I was stranded in the dessert for like FIVE DAYS!! I was just about to eat my cat when I though RU-vid!! You saved my cat’s life!!!!! Thank you thank you!

Bro the steering wheel idea worked, your a god

Wow man! Thank you I was stuck outside of Walmart installing a new steering wheel cover and my wheel got locked while my window was down and raining ! I looked at a bunch of videos and yours helped all I did was turn the wheel and start it up ! Thank you so much !!

Thank you so much for your crisp video... Thank God for being strucked at the signal coverage area😁😁😁

My aunt was stuck in the laundromat parking lot...not anymore though. Thanks for the video.

Gosh, this happened to me late Saturday night after my gig (with my 4yo in tow!) After more than half an hour's jiggling I went back to the venue and one of the regulars came and jiggled the wheel a bit, finally it turned. I'd turned my wheels towards the kerb just before turning the engine off and the steering wheel had locked in place aaaahhh I'm so glad it finally came free.
