ignition key hole problems

**soulibrium** · 08-04-2006, 02:05 PM

first off, this steering wheel thing that pops up when you remove the key from the ignition..is annoying...

second...when i need to put my key into the ignition, i have a VERY difficult time inserting thekey into the key rails !!its like it does not want to go in !! so i force it in...im sure thats no good for the key rails...

is this normal? if it is, what is the proper way to insert the key? if this is not normal, recommendations to repair..

Check to see if your key is bent. Before you get in to repairs I would try to use some silicone oil and/or graphite in your ignition to try to loosen it up.
