[Smokiebear]

hi i got a problem with my ignition lock assmebly on my 90 240. for some reason it wont let me turn the key which started happening 2 days ago. i jiggled the wheel to unlock it before but this time it wont. should i just get it replace? plus this is a first time im gonna do something with steering and i dont want to **** it up. what do you guys recommend?

I guess get one used. My lock cylinder was popped out by thief so I have been using screwdriver for past couple years.

if you're looking for something that'll match up to the rest of your locks for sure, you can always give one of our dealers a call. I've been doing all my oem parts purchases through midway parts for the past couple years. Ask for Mike Jones if you're gonna give that route a try.

Haha, I was going to buy all new locks for my car, for 3 cylinders, and 2 keys it was going to cost something like $450 at my local Nissan dealer. I just took them out, cleaned and lubed them, and they work like new again. Not that that is your problem...

Just get keyless entry and remote start and never use your keys again.

Just remember to leave it in neutral

Yeah dunno, dealers are either 1. selling stuff at reasonable prices or 2. overinflated prices. You just gotta find the right dealer.

They are in Texas but will ship to you they also do special internet pricing.I called for a quote, I think all 4 driver, pass, ignition, and glove box; they were selling for like $150 cheaper than I was quoted. I ended up with getting just drivers lock $150 at dealers by me, or $70 from them.

dunno courtesy, I used to do my shopping there till their prices went up and service down. I switched to midway parts and haven't looked back since...

haha i was waiting for someone to post this... i am having the same damn problem.. its really stating to piss me off.. i just got done fighting with it a minute ago.. i have been useing plyers and griping the button and wiggle and pull at it untill it pops out... it useally takes me around 1 to 5 damn minutes to get it unlocked.. unless the sterring wheel locks then it takes even longer... i went to auto zone and they toled me that it would be $120 for a new ignition and a set of keys... i was toled to go to a junk yard and get one.. but then they probly wouldent come with any keys... and i dont like junkyard parts anyways... then someone toled me to use some wd40 or some kinda lube to keep it from sticking.. but i doubt that will work... so im just gonna go to auto zone and get that ignition when i get the extra money....anyways thats my 2 cents.. good luck

mine is doing the same thing just look for someone who is parting out there car and buy it from them. I just paid 25 bucks for a ignition cylinder w/ keys and i think autozone here wanted 125 for it.
