Re: steering wheel locks

Oppie 1 August 2008 06:24:28
 The key is supposed to work either side. I find it goes into the cylinder
easier on one side than the other. A tiny bit of grease applied to the tip
of the key may help. Insert it several times and then wipe off.
If you turned the wheel after the key was removed in order to seat the
locking pawl, the wheel may have to be slightly turned to take the load off
of the pawl before the key can be turned.
Make sense?

I have a question that is causing a lot of concern............­.I have
a 2002 L-Series Saturn and it has become increasingly difficult to get
the steering wheel to unlock so the car will start. Sometimes it
seems hard to get the key into the ignition and when the key does go
in, its hard to get the wheel to unlock. Once unlocked, the car starts
fine. May I ask if that sounds familiar at all and, if so, what might
be the cause.
Thank you for any response..
cheers

It "might" be the key itself is shot -- my 1998 key was shot, it finally
STUCK in the ignition switch and I was lucky to get it out --- got a
replacement at Saturn for ( $35 ? ) .. they just required my
registration / driver's license -- took like 20 minutes.

Naturally, it hasn't stuck since.

 I had a 2001 L200 that ate the keys. The keys got so worn you could remove
the key with the engine running. Sounds like the ignition locks were lousy
on these cars.

A contact at a Saturn dealership tells me GM used a lot of Saab parts in
the L series, and they are a POC. I suggest you dump it and run!
