Vipers1973

Today when I put my key into the ignition it will not turn to the #1 position. It will turn out of the zero position but will not engage all the way to start the car. If I hold the key against the #1 position I do get my srs light and all electrical functions work. One thing I noticed when rapidly turning the key back and forth I hear a clang/bop noise under the drivers footwell like something is engaging nut not all the way. I noticed too when removing the key from the ignition it does not make that noise it makes when removing it. I just pull the key out.

Any suggestions before taking it to a repair shop?

it sounds like your ignition switch has malfunctioned due to possible broken parts within, a small metal clip inside i had same problem, broke key off trying to turn it. stop and have switch replaced, cause it will be much more if you do

I'm thinking it might be the ignition as well. It is stuck between the 0 and 1 position but the key will come out. Because of this the battery is running down. I can lock/unlock the steering colum which I guess is good. I've decided to leave it alone and stop messing with it before I cause damange by trying to get the key turned. I'm having it towed to the shop hopefully today.
