ignition switch problem
I have a 99 Cherokee. Yesterday, I parked in the driveway on a slight incline with the wheel not exactly straight. Now I can't get the ignition switch to turn. I have tried every thing I can thing of but can't get to turn. I have tried pulling on the steering wheel. I tried to move the gear selecter. It's locked. I can't put the car into neutral so I can't get it off the incline. I tried pushing the car up the incline a little to get any pressure off the locks. Didn't work. I tried WD40 in the lock. No Luck.
Any body have any ideas? Is there a way to put the vehicle in neutral so I can roll it to a flat area and try all this stuff again? Help.
