Check the Power Steering pump for fluid as well as make sure that the pump is working and the belt it tight. If the pump is not working then the steering will be hard to turn.

Ignition locked up in off position and won't turn on?
Turn the steering wheel hard to the left or right while turning the key.
What could make the steering wheel of my Honda Accord 91 make a squeaking noise and become very tight and hard to turn?
it sounds to be as if your power steering pump is out or low on fluid.
Why won't my keys turn?
try turning your steering wheel hard either way WHILE turning the key, sometimes the steering wheel locking mechanism interferes. you wont be able to turn your steering wheel like your actually turning, just move it and it should let the key turn
Hazards work but turn signals don't on a 1986 Caprice Classic how hard is it to install a toggle switch on dash for turn signals?
The flasher module may be bad try replacing that first. If that is not bad replace the turn signal cam in steering column. the toggle switch would be very hard to do.
Your 1995 Saturn ignition seems to be lock how can you unlock or do you need to replace the ignition switch?
Some times you can just jiggle the steering wheel back and forth as your try the ingition. The problem is common with LS2 Saturn steering locks; the steering lock must be engaged for this to work. If it isn't, use the above method to get it to lock.Once the steering lock is engaged you turn the steering wheel hard to the right as you turn the key in the ignition. This will usually free the switch up. Saturn keys are made of a very soft material and wear down significantly over time. USE CAUTION NOT TO USE SO MUCH FORCE ON THE KEY or it could snap off in the ignition. The brute strength should be applied to the steering wheel, not the key!
