Suzuki Verona 2004 Problem - I can't get the ignition switch to turn. I understand it could be a bad ignition switch, a bad brake pedal switch or a bad neutral safety switch. Are there any tricks to try before I call to have it towed?
Can you move the wheel from side to side to relieve the pressure for the key to turn ? also try pushing in on it a bit harder too as you do this it may be just in the locked position due to pressure at the wheel
I have a Suzuki Verona with same problem. I had a locksmith make a new key didn't solve it. It turns out that the tumbler is bad. However if you hit the key while it is in the ignition you can start it that way. Use the palm of your hand or vise grip the flat side and hit if the steering wheel is turned try to turn it a little so the lock will release. Tumblers can be expensive ($200 or 300?). I can drive it now after I did that trick to ignition.
