Question
my key gets stuck in the ignition when i put the tilt wheel in different postions i just got a new key lock and its doing the same thing . it will turn on but will not turn off. can you please help me.

thank you

Answer
There must be a problem with the barrel lock and it may be installed incorrectly.Or,the mechanism for the steering lock/tilt could be worn.I have seen the complete steering column having to be replaced.You must remove the switch clusters and covers and inspect all the parts for wear.
