Cadillac Repair: ignition switch, ignition, lock

Question
my ignition switch on my cadillac dhs as locked up what to do

Answer
Hello,

I am not sure what you are saying here, if the key is stuck in the lock and won't come out or if the key won't go into the lock.

In case you end up getting parts, do not call this an ignition switch or you will get the wrong parts. This is the ignition lock cylinder, completely different from a electrical ignition switch.

If you cannot get the key in a wafer (tumbler) has probably dropped out of place. You need to contact a local locksmith.

If the key won't come out of the lock, this could be a shift cable problem. Run the trans lever through all the gears and bring it back up to park firmly and see if the lock will go back so you can get the key out.
