Question
My wife's Ignition Lock cylinder switch has locked up for the second time in 2 years, and I am wondering what I can do to keep this from happening.

Answer
Hi Jack...try moving the steering wheel and or the shifter. if you have pressure against the lock pin in the steering coloum it can make turning the key hard. try parking with the wheels straight and on flat ground as parking on a grade will also put pressure on that same pin...hope this helps...Merry christmas
