Key will not turn, IKLC? My cars ignition wil not turn. I tried both keys, unlocking the steering wheel, etc. It just wont turn. Im thinking its the ignition key lock cylinder. It was replaced about 6 years ago by a mechanic. If that is what it is, will I have to get it from GM or a local parts store? I want to try doing it myself, but am terrified I will screw something up. The manual I have scares me away from it. Oh and the car is for sale and someone wants to look at it asap. Talk about being in a bind.

could be a neutral safety switch being an automatic. also if you have the chip in your key you will not only buy a new cylinder from an auto parts store but then you'll have to bring your old key and the new key blank to the dealer to have them cut a new key with your old chip into it so...just remember that when you buy the cylinder from the store if you do have the VATS system.
