Problem inserting key into ignition
Hey All,
I have been experiencing problems getting my master key inserted all the way in the ignition lock tumbler. It goes in about 2/3rds the way, but then stops. I have to fiddle with the key until I can finally get it all the way in and start the car.
Feels like a lock tumbler is sticking or not moving as the key is inserted. Do you folks have any ideas of how I can go about trouble shooting this? How can I take apart the ignition cylinder to take a closer look at it. I tried spraying lubricant into the cylinder, but still no resolution.
The key works fine on the doors and trunk, and had been working fine up until this point in the ignition.
Any advise is greatly appreciated
