This means most likely you need to replace the steering lock assembly.

Here is the procedure for a stuck tumbler. If this does not work you will have to replace the above lock assembly.

REMOVAL


NOTE: If the lock cylinder/key is notched or jamming, spray the lock cylinder with lock cylinder grease. If it is not possible to eliminate the complaint, replace the lock cylinder and key.

  1. Press out the escutcheon (2) with a suitable tool.


  2. Pull the transponder coil (3) off the lock cylinder (2) with a plastic wedge (1).
  3. Push the sleeve onto the cap and turn the lock cylinder to position "1" with the key.


  4. Unlock the lock cylinder (1) by turning the cap counter-clockwise through 90° and then remove.
