Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / January 2005Ignition key on Alero won't turn
The ignition key on my 2000 oldsmobile Alero won't turn. I have tried wiggling it and spraying WD-40 in it, wiggling the gear shifter (automaic trnansmission) stepping on the brake, but nothing I try allows the key to turn. Anyone have this problem and what was the fix? Is it the lock cylinder that went bad or something behind that ? Can I get the lock cylinder out without dismantling the dashbord ? Any help would be appreciated. I have replaced lock cylinders twice before and it wasn't pretty either time. Any help ? Gary > The ignition key on my 2000 oldsmobile Alero won't turn.

The same thing happened on my 2000 Intrigue, and I had to have a new lock cylinder installed -- 400 bucks, plus the towing charge. >> The ignition key on my 2000 oldsmobile Alero won't turn.
