Car won't start - key doesn't move to II or start
Well the TL won't start. I put in the key, I can get it to I position, but not II or get the car to start.
Anyone have a similar experience? What could it be? Sounds like a mechanical problem with the actual ignition??![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
At least it happened at home.![Why Me](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/whyme.gif)

Solution is some WD-40 in the key hole after you get the key out. I had my key bend in there and had to take the entire cylinder out to re-key it.

The key comes out, it just doesn't move past the above pictured part. It almost seems like the whole mechanical lock is screwy..
In the meantime, I took apart the steering column with my pops and hot wired it to get it over to his garage. I'm gone on business all of next week and hopefully we can find a solution in the mean time.

^Thanks man, made it to RI, just saw the sickest GT-R on the road ![Drool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/drool.gif)
Your WD-40 idea worked! I can't believe it, I'm glad my pops and I took the car to his house yesterday. I was on the phone with him and then all of a sudden I heard the ignition! He couldn't believe that was the problem either.
Never would even think that would be the solution, but thinking about it now - it makes sense. It's a mechanical component that never gets lubricated..after 240K+ miles, it gets worn.
Wow, thank you! I'm
