If your key won't turn or is stuck, no matter how much you wiggle it, turn the steering wheel, or press the brake, then you might want to try this. But use as a last resort, at your own risk.
This is pretty common in Jeeps, at first my key wont turn in the ignition, but if I wiggling it a little it will eventually work. I have been doing this for over a year now. Until today, no matter how much I wiggle the key, turn the steering wheel, press the brake, it will not turn. I'm totally locked.
So I did some research and found out that it is the lock cylinder that has gone bad and I need to have a local locksmith replace it at a cost of about $120 in parts and $50 in labor. Another option is to tow it to a Jeep dealer and pay over $900 for a entire steering column.
OR
You can just take a hammer or rubber mallet and hit the end of the key, this will bent the copper latch piece allowing you to start your jeep.

This video has everything - fear, drama, happiness, anger, desperation and a twist (key turn) at the end. Excellent!
And now comedy in the comments
@@warrenhardy hahahahaha!
@@warrenhardy and due to all these factors, people are still watching this, ahahaha!
he almost broke the internet but instead fixed his lock cylinder!
And violence! The bad man was violently swinging a big black dangerous club at the car and his rage escalated as he kept thrashing it against the ignition. Definitely rated R for violence.
This WORKS! I couldn't believe it when the key turned, I sat in my car and laughed at how my dad used to say, "if it doesn't work after you beat on it, then it's broke"
Thought my key was bad, walked up a hill 2 miles to get my spare. Didn't work. Googled key won't turn jeep and this came up.i beat the key with the service manual a few times and it worked. FTW and thanks for posting!
with the service manual, now thats funny
I must have looked like a maniac beating the crap out of it in the grocery store parking lot.
Stephen Browne thank you for this! We didn't have anything else on hand so we used the service manual too!
Stephen Browne hahaha 😂🤣 freaking funny, lol
Well hey that's what service manuals are there for..service
8 years later and this video just saved my life. My Jeep was stuck like this for almost a WEEK this hack worked immediately!! Thank you thank you!
Just did this and IT WORKED!! Used the only thing I could find in my car...a high heel 😂
😭
Oh my gosh really!? Haha, I'm trying to fix a neighbour's car but I'm scared to break it (or the key) if I do this
@@JessentialLife if they care then they should take it to a professional
@@JessentialLife bit late but I just had to do it too and it worked. Solid sturdy hit right on the key and it was done. Took me one try with a ball peen hammer. 03 liberty
We’ll just broke the fucking thing
Well this actually happened to us tonight. My husband was worried about a toll truck. Our jeep stopped in the mall in freezing weather. Googled the problem and ran across this video. He went back to the jeep and used his hand and it really worked. God answered my prayer. Thank you for posting.
Wow this video saved me towing fee and service for installing new ignition....Im a 57yr old Grandmother , easy fix, very clear instructions
Nice to hear.
You are awesome
my husband had the same problem on his 2000 Jeep.. he had the problem before but it always managed to work. He came in and found your video! at first we Laughed!!! that is hilarious!!!! he went out and tried it and it worked!!!!!THANKS AGAIN!
10 years later and this video is still helping people. I lucked out having a key with the fob portion broken off so I could hit it with a hammer without fear of crushing the fob. Regardless it worked after 3-4 little taps. Thank you so much.
No kidding, my son called me while he was away at college at one in the morning with the same problem so I told him what to do. He used a pair steel toe boots.
Amazing tip! Thank you. The official directions for installing a new ignition switch and ignition cylinder lock told me i had to drill through the head bolts on the steering column to replace the latter. No way I was going to do that! I knew there had to be an easier way even though my key wouldn't turn. This was the tip I needed. Once i had the key in the ACC position on my 97 Geo Prizm, i was able to insert the pick and depress the pin so I could pull the cylinder out! Really really easy. I'm so glad I decided I could fix this myself. I now have a brand new ignition switch and cylinder and everything is running great. I probably saved myself about 100 to 150 bucks. But not for the faint of heart if you don't like getting your hands greasy!
p
This would have been my next suggestion.
Omg I just want to say thank you for posting this video!! My ignition has been giving me problems for some time now but today it completely locked and refused to turn at all. Mechanic next door says I had to take it to the dealership to get the ignition replaced so obviously I was not very happy so I got onto the Internet and googled and found your video and my father and boyfriend went out and tried what you did and it worked! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!

I thought it was going to be a sarcastic video but indeed it made me laugh because it actually worked....
me too ha ha ha!!!!
Me too 😂😂😂😂😂
joe zuniga I thought the same thing but I was like hmm maybe I should try it won't hurt and bang their it actually did work
was just stranded at a truck stop. this video saved me. thought it was a joke too

THIS FREAKING WORKED GREAT!!!! YOU SAVED ME THE COST OF A NEEDLESS TOW CHARGE AND REPAIR! THANKS!!!!!
You saved me today!!! My boyfriend usually has to get it turned for me, but I am stuck away from home and frantically searching for videos similar to what I have seen him do to the ignition. By the grace of God, I found your video and now, I can be on my way home!!!! 🙌
It’s 2022, almost 2023 and your still out here saving lives. Thank so much man. I was able to start my 2001 Toyota 4Runner because of this GEM 💎 video!
Just found this video while stranded in my company’s box truck! No AC and in a bad area. Thank you Warren Hardy! I am forever indebted to you and your video!
Thanks for the video! After riding my bicycle in the rain for three weeks and attmepting to change the Ignition Lock Cylinder for two days I finally got the key into the ACC position to replace the cylinder, using your method with the hammer!
Hey man, you are a life and bank saver!!! I was slamming that thing like 30 times, almost gave up and when I did the last attempt it actually worked. So thank you very much and please post more of those videos!!!
Now that you were able to get it to turn, pull out the ignition and clean and lubricate it.
Just tried it on my 2001 Toyota Tacoma, (it was towed to my home) and it didn't work. I spent a good 15 minutes hitting it- all I wanted to do is to turn it to accessory to push the pin so I can pull the cylinder out. I probably need to drill it out- ( not a fun or easy job) it seem like a great idea if it works- and by all the comments it has worked for many. Thanks for the video Warren and for the many you have helped.
Tried turning the wheel back and forth while trying to turn the key and it didn't work. Watched this video when I was at my last wit in knowing what to do and said what the heck.... I watched this video and out of desperation, got my mallet out and tapped it three times on the key. The key turned and the car started. Amazing. It worked for me just fine. Thank you, Warren.
I love that you pointed out that "Tried turning the wheel back and forth while trying to turn the key and it didn't work" cause I got the odd post on here saying thats the problem. We all have experience the key being locked cause you turned the car off with the wheels turned and the pressure on the lock is preventing it from turning. and yes we all know that you just have to turn the wheel to remove the pressure and the key will turn.
But that is not issue with the vast majority of people that have found their way here. They are here because of a bigger issue. and this hammer trick doesn't fix that issue, but it is a temporary cure.
Glad it worked out for you and so many others. Cheers
This saved me from costly repairs just this afternoon. My wife failed to keep the wheels straight when parking and the steering wheel locked. I had to ride my bike to get the key in the ignition using this method. No danger of breaking a key if you don't pretend you're Thor. Think "firm taps."
This video literally saved me from a long miserable wait for breakdown service in a nondescript small village in Ireland on a late Sunday night. I used a tyre iron instead. I'll buy you a beer if I'm ever in your town
Thank God for this video. I was literally stuck for hours stressed. Found this and it worked 🙌🏾
We had a blinker problem with our Grand Cherokee and learned that using a rubber mallet to hit under the dash fixed the turn signal. Now, we have the key not turning issue and using the same rubber mallet fixes that too! Looks like Jeep needs to be sold with rubber mallets already stock in the glove compartment. Finally, your sarcastic frustration was totally awesome bro!
I had this same problem with my Toyota Sienna. I tried for hours to get the key to turn without success. I came across your video on RUclips and gave it a shot. This is a standard flat key, not a chip key or anything. I removed the key from my key ring and tapped the end a few times with a steel tire gauge. I then tried to turn the key and voila!, it turned! I sprayed some WD40 in the key slot and tried turning the ignition off then back on a few times and it worked each time. Amazing! Thanks so much for this tip. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.
when I had the same problem it turned out to be shavings from the key being put in and taken out, over time, building up and sitting in there, gumming up the lock. Striking it would make the metal shavings loosen but if that's the case here your lock will jam again once they resettle in a few weeks.
I just put paper towel on the carpet below then sprayed a generous amount of lock lubricant in to flush it out, then a blast of air from a keyboard cleaner compressed air can. It cleaned it out without taking anything apart or hitting anything with mallets.
What type of lock lubricant did you use by chance?!
I think I used lock de-icer, but any spray lubricant with the straw type nozzle will do - WD-40 would work fine. Remember to blast it out with an air can after.
The issue isn't lubrication nor is it metal shavings. The issue is a worn out key. Just like breaks, if you let those wear out too long, you end up damaging your rotors. With a key, if you let it wear down too much, you can wear out your ignition. There is a bar inside the ignition cylinder that is most likely not fully retracting and not allowing the cylinder to rotate. A "new" key, (not a shiny copy of a worn key) will allign the parts in the lock correctly to allow cylinder rotation. However, a worn key that has been ignorred or hit with hammners may be damaged where even a new key can't fix it. When this happens, its time to replace the cylinder. Contact your local locksmith if you experience this problem.
yeah nevermind I had this same problem and metal shavings were the issue, jamming the cylinders, and once cleaned out it solved the problem. Nope, it can't possibly be that thing that happened.
BTW brakes are b-r-a-k-e-s, not b-r-e-a-k-s.
Autocorrect doesn't always choose the correct word. Also, I make a good living helping people fix problems just like this. There may be metal shavings in your ignition jamming up your lock, but the reason the shavings got in there is because something is worn, either the key or the tumblers in the lock. Producing metal shavings is not a natural function of using a lock. Speaking of brakes, if your brakes were sparking every time you applied pressure on them, you wouldn't say it's a normal function of brakes and to just spray WD40 on them, would you? Hammering a cylinder is absolutely acceptable method of solving the immediate problem of getting your car to start, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem.
Thank you so much!! I was supposed to go to orientation for a new job I just got. Thanks to your video there's nothing standing in between me and the road! you're awesome! God bless you!
Thank you for posting this. I tried everything (turning the wheel, pressing the brake, putting the key in and out, manipulating the gearshift) and nothing worked. I sprayed some dry lubricant into the ignition (that alone didn't do anything because I tried that first w/o hitting it) and hit the key with a mallet 2x and it started up. 2007 Hyundai Sonata. I'm getting the cylinder replaced next week once the parts show up.
thats great, temp fix, glad to hear your getting it fixed proper too.
After a locksmith failed to help me with a new key, this worked and saved me a costly tow. Many thanks!!!
Nov. 1/2020 - yeah!!! We're in Vancouver, Canada. 93 yr. old mom has a Shoprider mobility scooter (7 yrs old now). Today, out of nowhere she could put the key in the ignition, but it wouldn't turn. She was sure someone messed with it as it's a day after Halloween. We doubt that part. We doused the ignition with WD40 but ... the key still wouldn't turn, after an hour. So, we tried this fix - gave it one good whack with a hammer and WHALLA the key turned and she'll be able to go shopping tomorrow as she'd planned! Thanks for the GREAT, INEXPENSIVE fix for a low-income senior. It costs $100 service charge just to have a professional place come to look at her scooter to access the work needed, then the cost of repairs on top of that. Try this fix folks!
Everyone BEFORE doing this try pressing your foot on the break, turn your steering wheel to the left a little and hold the steering wheel in that position as you gently jiggle your key back and forth while also pushing the key inward.
If that doesn't work than I'd try this as a last resort.
Hell yeah buddy thanks
Thank you
Yeah I had a Nissan Altima that would do that off and on and it would unlock in the way you describe. Definitely try that first. Hitting anything on your car-especially anything with electronic components-with a rubber mallet should always be avoided if possible. 😄
Thank you, it works!
Thank you for posting this!! I'm literally in the forest and this happened.. didn't have a mallet, but improvised.
Thank you so much!
YOU'RE A HERO, MAN! Got my Peugeot 107 for three days and locked my wheels. Had to come back from a mall by a cab and the second day i fixed it, following your video! Had to turn the key right to make it work, but I made it! 🙏🙏🙏
My parents car was giving me difficulties. The car key ignition somedays wouldn’t turn. It got stuck and I couldn’t turn it anymore. It’s been two days now and I’ve just been ubering back and forth. My uncle told me to spray some WD-40 into the key hole and let the product sit for a while and try turning the key again. Well it didn’t work. Then I saw your video and thought Id give it a try and what do you know??? IT WORKS, This is a miracle!!!! It turned and now I’m driving the car around again today. I was searching for help on YT, I happen to click on this video and it was the best choice. For a non mechanic like me, Thank you for sharing this video.
Totally worked. I just used my palm. We were stuck for 30 minutes trying to wiggle and everything you normally do. Couldn't find a video saying anything else. Slapped it with my palm 4 or 5 times and started right up.
Thank you. I was stuck for an hour....found your video and it worked! Suzuki XL7.
This worked on my 93 Honda Accord just now - thanks!!!
This was awesome! We tried everything else till we got to this video and it worked!
Although this didn’t ’fix’ my problem it actually saved my car from hurricane rains since all 4 of my windows were down. It was my 04 Honda CRV. I hit that thing and got the ignition to turn on after hours of trying to turn the key. I got my windows up.. couldn’t crank it but even if I had I would’ve prob stalled instantly. Thank you for sharing and if you’re reading this Godspeed ahead.
Thank you for posting this video. My 02 Durango has been locking up. My mechanic told me until I get it fixed to jiggle up and down. The last time that worked, but not this morning when I had to get 8 loads of laundry to the laundromat!! I used a regular hammer and tapped my key. After 3 tries it worked!! I am keeping that hammer in the car for the next time, until I can save enough to get it fixed.
nice
Un-be-frickin-lievable! that worked!! Thank you Internet!
Oh Damn it !!! The car won't Start Again....
Honey, Please Pass me that Hammer in the Glove Box . I Love it.
Lmao
After this happened I’m keeping a hammer with me all the time
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfao
You should try using a silicone degreaser first something like a Rust buster WD-40 type that can lubricate the cylinder first. You might have a safer more permanent results
My thoughts exactly at 1st, I tried some PB Blaster then coated my key w blaster and dusted the key with dry graphite powder. No dice. Key seemed to go in on a slight upwards angle. Hmm I'll give this method a shot. I just need to turn it once to get the Cylinder pin exposed to remove it and put a new one in.....
Came out of the doctors office and the dam key wouldn't turn. Tried everything for 20 minutes. Was just about to call the wife to come pick me up. Saying to myself please key just turn so I can get the car home and fix it. Googled it and came to your video. Didn't have a rubber mallet but did have the boot on my right foot. Hit the key real hard with the sole of the boot and wham the key turns. Thanks for posting this. Saved me some aggravation for sure. 2002 Chrysler sebring.
Da BOOT for the win! love it
I was stuck at a truck stop for hours with the same issue saw this video and tried it. didnt have a mallet so I used the palm of my hand, worked like a champed. Thank You Internet
Thank you for this, had the same problem yesterday and it worked. Afterwards I bought a quick release keychain so I could eliminate any weight on my key ring. Saved my Christmas 😁

Couldn’t turn the ignition key in my 2006 Explorer yesterday and was late for work (took wife’s car). Watched this video and once I got home, hit the key, and it worked! Thank you!
Yes!! It worked on my 2006 Chevy Trail Blazer. The key got stuck last night, and today I searched to see what I could do to fix it. I found this video, got the rubber hammer and hit the key twice with a solid hit, and the key turned, I'm so happy!! Thank you for posting this.

Thanks, Warren! My 2006 F150 locked up but the rubber mallet did the trick. I started with a tap and ended up giving it a pretty good smack before it finally worked... Nine years later and still a hero.
It worked! 2010 Ford F150. Thank you so much for posting this video. I had tried everything before this, resetting anti theft, jacking front end up, just trying for hours jiggling steering wheel and key. Didn't want to hotwire because it is a newer truck and antitheft would probably keep steering wheel locked. But I did this with a hammer, because I didn't have a rubber mallet and it worked. It didn't permanently break the locking mechanism, as I took key out I had to pound on it again for it to turn, but now that it's turning I'm going to just leave the key in the ignition. Luckily I live in a place where I can leave my keys in the ignition, doors unlocked and never worry.
I worked for me 6 months ago. Didn't have a hamer, so I used my shoe.
It happened again yesterday...and same trick.😘
learn from that and replace the cylinder
Thank you so much for your video. It really helped me minutes ago to unlock my car ignition switch after following your guidelines and watching your experience and taking me out of this dilemma. I had the exact same problem and your method worked. YOU’RE THE BEST!!! Thank you again!!!
Awesome. Thx
It worked 🙌🏾 I used a hammer and gently tapped on it.. This is a first time experience for me and I looked online and ran across this video and it definitely worked for me but just for safe keeps I'll more than likely keep a hammer or a high heel in the car with me🤦🏾♀️ LBVS!! I'm glad I was already at home when this happened!! Definitely will be getting this fixed tho!!
This happened to me this morning. Went to move the truck so I can take the trash to the curve for disposal..... I was like.... Well.... maybe I haven't woken up yet, so I tried again nothing. Maybe the steering wheel was locked.... nope nothing, so I said forget it. Picked up the trash can which is very heavy push it over the truck slid it down on the side of the truck and rolled it to the Curve!!!! Saw this video.... could find a doggone hammer for the life of me.... so I had a old door knob that I removed from one of my doors in my home.... Hit it twice and it turned... You are amazing. You are now my internet God. Thank you😇
Hi everyone...Warren I couldn't believe that you were basically talking about the same way my key was reacting ,it felt like the key wasn't going in enough...broke down yesterday and for love nor money I couldn't get the key to turn ,had breakdown come out and he still couldn't do anything.
So I tried this ,and you guessed it...it works..had to use a hammer ,didn't want to but that is all I had ,hit it about 4 times and hayprestow ...still can feel that there is still something catching slightly but who cares...Thank you once again Warren..
OMG!!! I am such a girly girl, but my parents needed their truck fixed, and I didn't have all the money. This video just saved us!!! Thank you so much! I feel all empowered and shyt! lol lol
greatest tip ever!just saved me a lot of time and money!thank you!
This vehicle is a Jeep. There are two types of ignition keys for these (as well as other Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler) vehicles. Before anybody starts hammering on thier key, first look at it, If the plastic section of the key is thin, go ahead and hammer the shit out of it. BUT if the plastic portion of the key is thick (like the one in this video), you should think twice about hammering on it. The thick keys have an RFID chip inside it. If you damage the chip, your vehicle wont start no matter what you do and the repair gets VERY expensive very quickly from that point on. The reason most ignition switches quit operating is because people set thier keys on the ground and dirt gets on the key..............people pull thier keys out of thier pockets and lint gets on the key.....so that's how dirt and lint finds it's way into the keyhole. Next thing ya know, the ignition lock tumblers get stuck and the key doesnt rotate anymore. Safest way to fix the situation is to spray BRAKE cleaner into the keyhole.........the brake cleaner evaporates and leaves NO sticky residue behind........spray a bunch of it in there. then push the key in and pull it out repeatedly (kinda like key sex with the keyhole). Do the spray thing a few times and the lock should work again. Let the brake cleaner dry up for a few minutes...........There is a dry powder type of "lubricant" that is used in the keyhole to keep the key switch moving properly. Many people think grease or "WD40" will fix a problem like this, but it just makes it worse. Obviously, the person who posted this video has a fucked up ignition switch, I mean, HOW often does his switch get stuck for him to "learn" the hammer trick.? If your keyhole gets stuck only a couple times a month, it means that the tumblers inside it are getting worn out and the lock cylinder needs to be replaced ASAP. The reason you should replace it ASAP is because if you wait until it is stuck one final time, you will have to break it in order to get it out.......but if you replace it before it refuses to turn one final time, all you have to do is position the key into the number 1 location and the ignition lock cylinder slips out in mere seconds.
I suspect I have a neighbor putting super glue in all my locks because my door locks have this problem as well, when I used wd-40 it seemed to loosen them up they already messed up my passenger door using key bumping
I was stuck and all the videos I saw said I needed to replace or repair. Saw this video and hit my m'n f'n key with all my might and with a heart full of hope. It worked!!!! Needed to leave a comment to give my many thanks. ❤
Indeed, I saw suggestions for this but your video shows that it works! I jammed, rammed, wiggled jiggled pushed pulled, did a Fonzie smack, turned and adjusted the steering wheel, jiggled the shifter etc nada... the rubber mallet on the straight in pound on the second time started right up. YEAH and YAY! Thanks that worked!
YOU RULE EARTH! Thank you, this actually worked!
I love this method. Going to try this on my van.
Thanks a lot for this video!! I recently ran into the same problem and I came across your video. It definitely helped me. Thanks!! :)
I cant believe it worked, our car of 15 years started to do that and you saved us from paying a tow truck! Thanks!
I have a mid 2000s Grand Caravan that randomly the key would not turn. May take 5 attempts one time then 100 another of reinserting and twisting before it would turn. Today I could never get it to turn. A few YT videos taught me it is easy and cheap to replace the lock cylinder but it must be turned to near the start position to be removed. Figured I was screwed then came upon this video. At first I had little faith but gave it a try "or should I say WACK as you instructed" It Freaking Worked !!! As long as it works one more time when the ordered replacement cylinder gets here, it will have possibly saved me ether hundreds of dollars and / or many hours to resolve.
Sending some $$$ as thanks if your channel accepts patron payments. Thank You Sir
thanks for sharing, this worked perfectly after messing with it for an hour
Jeep.
You know you've brought American when you need a hammer with you to start it.
Scott Dann it's funny how people blame americans when it is all made in china........
Point still stands. Giving the work to the lowest bidder to maximise profit regardless of the workmanship.
Or a screwdriver...lol .
Not necessarily lol. The 1st gen Honda pilots have this issue. I'm debating on taking a mallet to mine (temp fix as that cannot be good for too long without other components breaking down due to the damage from the hit.) Since they all work together in this lock, cant destroy one part of it with a mallet without having something else be affected usually. Will probably just go for a more permanent fix by either replacing the mechanism myself DIY or calling a locksmith.
Some people work hard to be a fucking asshole, but you come by it so easily.
LOL this is exactly what worked for me right now but I used a kombucha bottle
PROBIOTICS ARE BADASS

Key is cut incorrectly or cuts/depths too worn down in some cases not allowing to correspond correctly in binding order to turn cylinder or ignition switch getting stuck (common)
Scienterrific
Omg I think I love you! Thank you so much, fixed in 30 second
gotta love a girl that carries a rubber mallet LOL
Jacki Velez it's actually easier if you hold the key like if your turning it to the on position and with a screwdriver that has a rubber handle you can use that. what it does it mmhelps release any debri that may be in their or a stuck wafer that sometimes it may jam due to the fact of dirt and not enough grease inside the cylinder. I use to buy some cans from ace when I was a locksmith they like 1.50 power lube, that makes wonders on all locks. If you spray a little bit just use the key to turn it once or twice and you should see some dirt or carbon on the tip of the key.
Jacki Velez
Do not mess with a girl with a mallet, give her the respect that she deserves!

Been stranded all Albertsons since 11:30a it is now 7:51 pm. I watched your video and it worked instantly. God's sent your here dude. Love from Cali 🌴
This Happened to my car just now! Spent 45 minutes trying to fix it then found this video, are used an old portable speaker that I have. Worked the first time! So so so thankful
Wd-40 and work the key in the ignition. Worked for me after I bought car for $300 because key wouldn't turn and dealer quoted high price to repair. Seller was pissed, but we already signed title, paperwork and exchanged money. Was an awesome car until daughter wrecked it 8 months later.
This is one of my favourite comments on this video!!!
Do not use WD 40, this is what it does to lock cylinders. 4. Locks. The spray can prematurely wear down the internal mechanisms, especially in the pin tumbler locks, in door locks and padlocks. Go for graphite powder.
What vehicle?
Karma. Be humble an be honest that the dealer was wrong
my nasty neighbor likes to put super glue in all my locks. but WD-40 seems to loosen that up

I know this is a 9 YEAR OLD VIDEO but THIS JUST SAVED ME accidentally put my truck key in my Volvo (was in my pocket ) and then after it wouldn’t turn realized was wrong key then Volvo key wouldn’t work anymore after totally taking the ignition apart I seen this video and BOOM IT WORKED
9 years. Geeez you making me feel old. lol
A beautiful and moving story, considering the tragic dilemma facing our young hero...Here, American ingenuity and savvy saves the day...nothing like a good bash! Clearly the key mechanism was playing games... The marvel of the Internet!
dry graphite is best for lock cylinders. :)
That's what I thought. Then the biggest locksmith in our county said graphite was bad. Use Tri-Flow. So I tried that and it stopped turning completely. aarrrggghhh
I'm going to try that now. Hopefully it works on a 2005 dodge durango

I was skeptical to say the least but with nothing else to do I gave it a try. It worked ! Had to get it to turn so I could align the pin to pull the old one out and was getting ready to drill it. Very surprised and grateful.
