Hi! from wichita kansASS and a problem??

First off, let me say Hello and i hope to learn a lot from this forum. secondly I have looked quite a bit through here and I do know there is a search function to make use of. BUT ( there always is a big butt) i have to get this problem fixed and quick as my wife is a nurse and does not drive..... anyways here we go, I have a problem with my key not wanting to turn in the ignition. it used to do it for a bit then finally work, it has now come to the point that it will not turn at all anymore. i cannot get the key into the ACC position to remove the tumbler. right now i am at the part where i have removed the two bolts holding up the steering and could remove the screws on the ignition. but i do not know what to do at this point. will disconnecting the battery help with turning the key into the ACC position?
i have never seen that question addressed and that is the one i have been wondering i do not want to take anything apart or off that i do not have to. I can take pictures if that would help I am just broke and trying to fix this as cheaply as i can as i do not get my next student loan check till the end of September. thanks in advance. also if anyone needs help with computers, i can trade knowledge with you.. I am Toyota stupid. i guess admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?

Replace your ignition lock cylinder. Takes maybe 10 minutes to swap out, very easy.

Welcome to the forum!

Key won't turn

Check out this thread:

Key - keyhole (ignition) locks up - won't turn

I have the problem also. For me it is a matter of the key not being fully seated or inserted. If I'm patient and gentle with a little wiggle and jiggle, the key will go in another fraction of an inch, we are talking a 32nd or less, and it functions as normal.

The above thread has options listed. New ignition will have you carrying multiple keys. The solution I will use when forced or get around to it is to take out the ignition and get it to a locksmith.

Welcome and GL

Roger

Smile Fixed

got a locksmith to come out and rebuild the tumbler and install it for $75. now considering that the new tumbler from O'Reiley's was $69 with a lifetime warranty. i will pay $6 for an install. i did the math and it works for me!!! he hasn't returned with it yet so i will report back with how it works and the quality of work. My Bad Day Just Turned Around!!!

i see where it would not take that long BUT... when you cant get the switch to the ACC, that's where it becomes to much for a guy like me. i could not hit the button on the tumbler to release it. that is why i called in the pro. thanks All for the welcomes too! this seems like a great forum!!
