#1 of 5 Grand Cherokee Ignition Locked by Confo Dec 10, 2008 (10:26 am)
96 Grand Cherokee.   Key won't turn in ignition. Followed manual (turning steering wheel while starting), and that worked, once. Had same problem later that day, and next time was harder before it worked. Tried this am, didn't work anymore (hesitant to use any more force. Thoughts?

Replying to: pedroman74 (Feb 22, 2009 5:37 am) I ended up taking the entire lock cylinder out to replace. Was tricky getting to it, but once done, it wasn't all that bad.

Replying to: Confo (Dec 10, 2008 10:26 am) I'm looking for a better solution also.. problem has happend to me about 5 times, yesterday it took me over an hour to finally get it unlocked by forcing steering wheel (I have actually gotten out of my car and pulled with all my might to get it unlocked) I am afraid I am going to break it for good.
#5 of 5 steering & ignition lock won't turn by anton510 Jul 29, 2009 (2:00 pm)
I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo. Steering and Ignition lock won't turn. Tried hitting key lightly with hammer to see if it would turn. No luck! Also tried wrestling the steering left & right while trying to turn the key. Again no luck! Are there any other suggestions or tricks that anyone can recommend? If I grind off the tab on bottom of cylinder will it pull out? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
