Ignition stuck
there have been a few times when I cannot turn my ignition switch to start the car on my 2006 RL. I keep trying and eventually it will allow me to turn it all the way so the car will start.
What causes this to occur? What can I try to get it to turn all the way so I can start the car?

Is your cellphone in the same pocket as the fob while you start?
If there's interference with the fob, if i recall correctly, the car won't let you start it. It needs to detect the fob which a cell phone or a magnet can interfere.

RL9,
Thanks for your reply. I’m not sure where the cellphone was yesterday when I tried it. It’s possible it was close by. There is a magnet glued to the dashboard near the ignition switch. But it’s always been there.
I will move the cell phone near the fob and see if that causes the ignition to not turn all of the way.

What he said, especially if you make a tight turn into a parking spot just before turning the car off.....worse if you're on an incline.

A Fob battery change too could help. But next time if it happens, just move the fob away from anything electronic and try again to see.
