Why This Happens

• Worn or damaged ignition barrel (the lock cylinder has taken a beating)

What to Do Right Now

If you’re stood beside your van and the key won’t turn, here are a few immediate steps:

1. Try using the correct key (sometimes a “spare” may be worn) and gently wiggle it while trying to turn — don’t force it hard.

2. Ensure the steering wheel isn’t locked — sometimes turning the wheel slightly while turning the key helps unlock the barrel.

3. Avoid forcing the key — forcing may damage internal components and lead to a more expensive repair or full ignition replacement.
