Hello everyone, so my 2001 ss Monte’s ignition is seized/ locked up. I went to the gym came out to start it and the ignition was stuck. It had only been two hours. I can’t turn it to the on position or anything and my steering wheel isn’t locked and it’s in park. I’m not sure what to do because I have another ignition but I can’t get the old one out because of this problem. I tried the bang and turn method, I’ve wiggled it around(up and down side to side), I spayed lubricants in there and nothing. I’m stuck now do you guys have any ideas on how to get it to turn then I’m gonna take it to the dealership and have them look at it. ANYTHING WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THANK YOU🙏🏽

 

Sometimes if you can turn the wheel a little bit it might help.
I think I read a bulletin on these that when the weight of extra keys are on the fob it has a tendency to create this problem.
Sometimes you can google the issue and then read thru all the info that shows up and find it.

I ended up just changing the ignition completely. I had to drill it out but i got it! Thank you for your reply I appreciate it!!
