    Thank you so much! I have been trying for so long and I see your video and It worked. I was debating if this worked but it did. So for those debating if this works, yes it does just follow the directions
    1)gently turn the key in the ignition back and forth
    2) turn the steering wheel and after some 30 seconds it should work

    If it's not The ignition switch, put a come along on the steering wheel, open the driver door and hook the cable to the runningboard or the frame, then rather the come along until the stupid steering wheel lock breaks and your good to go (this is a joke you'll break stuff doing this, obviously)

    • @leosypher9993
      @leosypher9993 6 років тому +2

      Oh yeah and if you have a ford ranger and the key lock is stuck so the key wont turn, put a wrench on the shroud that's over the key and break the key lock by turning it, it's made of plastic, once you've done that the key should turn no problem, the final step is to ask yourself why you bought a peace of junk ford, and go buy a dodge

    So freaking frustrated i wonder if there's a problem with my 2010 Jetta because ive spent over three hours now trying to fix this grabbing multiple people I know who have had this problem before but no freaking luck. So pissed because ive definitely had this before and it was easy, so its making me upset that this jetta is fucking up so hard
