1998 V70XC Cannot turn the key into position II and III

Post by Volvo742 »

Hello!

I have a problem with my key lock. I can not turn the key to position II or position III. Howeve the steering lock works.

If I have the key in position 0 and moves the steering wheel is the steering lock goes in.
If I pull out the key and move the steering wheel to go go the steering lock goes in.

It all started when I jerked the steering wheel straight out to remove it from a rusty point down to the floor. I had the steering lock in when I winced.

It has happened that I can spin around the key 360 degrees. Then I have also removed the ignition switch.

How do i repair this problem? :D
