- VS Series2 Executive Wagon
Hi I have a VS Series II EXEC which has all of a sudden developed a problem that I can't turn the key to start it. It first happened when I got back in the car after doing some shopping the key wouldnt turn, after trying a number of times it worked and I drove home. This problem has never happened before by the way, when I got home I tried it again and no go ,fiddled about with the key and after trying for about half an hour I had managed to start it 5 times and now it wont turn at all, I have tried both keys,so I decided to have a look and removed the plastic cover from under the steering column and decided to move the steering wheel for better access which I did and it dawned on me that there was no steering lock stopping me.
I am now wondering if in fact I have a steering lock problem that is what is causing me not being able to turn the key. This all started after parking the car.
Can anyone tell me how to get at the steering lock?, and has anyone else had this problem? I have a few GM VS manuals but gave up buying any more as most of the info said to go look in the VR manuals and after spending $300 on what I have I stopped buying any more.
Hi on further checking I dont think I turned the wheel far enough, the steering lock now appears to be working, How do I get the barrel out. Why would this suddenly happen if both keys are at fault! I have tried powdered graphite and WD40 with no change
Thanks,
