Good luck with it.

No steering lock on LX or LC vehicles, so this won't work.

is this still the result from your pink thingy repair? have you adjusted the ignition interlock cable? if so, i'd be checking all parts were reassembled correctly. many have done this repair and i haven't read about anyone else with this problem ???

Hmm, never noticed that. It must have been on the Turbo Volvo. What a waste of a turbo that was. My wife liked the Volvo so I required the upgraded model.

what i am thinkin is it must be something else, maybe the ignition switich is no good? plus if i do a diagnostic check on it will it show that plus how much does that cost to get done?

this is a mechanical issue. no electrical diagnostics.

KEY WILL NOT ROTATE TO THE LOCK POSITION.
1. Misadjusted Park Lock cable. 1. Adjust Park Lock cable. i posted instructions in one of your other threads.
2. Misadjusted gearshift cable. 2. Adjust gearshift cable. i posted instructions in one of your other threads.
3. Burrs on ignition key. 3. Remove burrs and cycle key several times to verify operation.
4. Binding or broken components. 4. Inspect system components and repair/replace components as necessary.
