Went to start car this morning and ignition will not turn on. Have battery unhooked and on charge at the moment just in case. 99 xk8 Conv

 

need more details. Get any check engine light, if so did you get the codes?
What year is the car? Is it turning over when you turn the key or nothing at all?

 

99 xk8. Ignition switch will turn to first position only. When I open door window goes down as usual in conv but never goes up when I close door. Is now all way down. Interior lights come on and when I insert key steering wheel goes to my position. Ignition will not turn to acc or on position and shifter will not come out of park

 

Try this: My wife had the same problem. Grasp the steering wheel firmly and while turning the key gently move steering wheel left and right. She had parked and pressure was against the lock mechanism from the steering wheel.
If you haven't had any other problems this might be it.

 

I have had this happen in other cars I have owned. I would agree in trying this.

 

WOW!!! Thank you both. I've been fighting this all morning. Hard to believe it was that simple

 

I've had this problem in other vehicles and knew about it but did not think of that on the Jag. As always I over complicated it������

 

but I have never had one will it will go one position then stop, it would not come out of lock unless I moved the wheel

 

Dale just be thankful for a quick no cost solution LOL. They are few and far apart when caring for Cats. Glad to hear it worked out for you.
