problem turning the key when parked uphill
My '95 Accord (4-cyl), has developed this issue:
the catr has 180K on it and recently When I park uphill most times (not always) it's hard to turn the key. I have to wiggle it a bit and more often than not pull on key slightly as I turn it. Seems there is problem with ingintion switch / cylinder. Any ideas?.. thanks in advance. |
Could this be because of the way the wheels are turned? If you "rock" the steering wheel a little side to side, does the key free up?

Ok, just the first thought...I'm old so when I park on hills I turn the wheels so that "if the car" started to roll it would/might hold on the curb.
Being a manual, that rules out a few things......have you tried to "lube" the cyl? Lock-ease or some other lube for key locks. |
