The ignition key also serves to unlock the steering column. If the steering wheel is turned after the key is removed a clicking sound will be hear and the steering wheel is then locked in this position. There is now sometimes force against the lock and the key won't turn. Pull the steering wheel left or right slightly and hold while trying to turn the key. The key should then turn freely without any resistance.
With the key designed for the door. If you don't have the key anymore try a Baseball bat or a brick.
Maybe your steering wheel it's keeping the ignition cylinder to turn, so move the steering wheel and at the same time try to turn the key. Maybe you need to replace the ignition cylinder key lock
is it a ford? push the key in further and then turn it
With the wheel locked you have to turn it a little to take pressure off the cylinder or else the key won't turn. Most likely when you did it the second time you just stumbled on the fact that the wheel needed to turn a little so you could turn the key.
try the starter this happened to me once it didnt do anything when i turned on the ignititon but i could push start it
go to Nissan dealer and buy new remote and have programmed
wires from the starter to the harness are touching
The starter relay, solenoid or starter itself most likely is bad. If you hear clicking from the starter when you turn the key, then the starter is most likely the cause.

Yes the dealership in most cases uses the VIN to cut a key.
In this situation the key may not be in the ignition far enough to hit all of the tumblers correctly. It can also be caused by dirt on the key.Ê
I'm researching this same question. So far, I know the Nissan Sentra has what they call Intelligent Key.
Even if it could be done it would be cost prohibitive.
Needle nose plies or tweezers and praying -if not - replace the switch.
turn key off.
Teh dealer told me it's $40 for the key + $55 to program it. I don't know if it needs to be programed for sure though. They might just want more $$$
