98 V70 Key sticking and not turning

Post by SonicAdventure »

Maybe it's due to the below freezing temps we've had here the last few days, but I all of a sudden have had issues getting my key to turn once the car is shut off and the steering week lock is engaged.

The only thing that has worked is simultaneously pressing the shift lock button while turning the key, but that's not a long term solution.

Where is the first place to check or what can I search for on YouTube to see a video? Haven't found anything exactly like my issue yet. Thanks
