Ignition Lock
Hey everybody, new to the site and having some problems with my 2002 RT. My key goes into the igntion but won't turn. The wheel lock is not on so I know it is not that.
It has happened before but ater a couple of minutes of jiggling it worked. Did the same thing for another day or so and then stopped completly for a few months
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Ignition Lock
you need to lubricate your tumblers. buy a bottle of graphite lubricant at the hardware store. put some on your key and also squirt some into the tumblers directly. work it in and out and add more as you go,in a minute or soit will unstick and work real smooth. this stuff is a black powder and it is sort of messy so i suggest that you hold a damp towel just under the ignition when you put it in there. let us know how it goes.
