Hi,
I have a "94 4 runner & I can't get the key to turn in the ignition. The steering wheel is in the locked position and will only move a few inches. I have tried wiggling the steering wheel & turning the key, but it just won't turn. I have also tried all the keys I have for the ignition. Is there a release for the steering lock anywhere or anything else I can try? I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi redneckgirl,

If the key cylinder is not faulty, then you need to turn the steering away from the locked position to release the tension on the key cylinder.
