Toyota Repair: 1998 Toyota sienna ignition cylinder replacement, cylinder replacement, drastic measures

Question
Hi Ted.  I read previous posts..

My cylinder lock won't turn to ACC almost but not quite ... the pin won't depress .  What suggestions do you have?

Answer
Try to have another key made using the VIN# at the dealer, or try another key on hand, if none of the keys will turn to acc, try spraying a lubricant in the lock and wiggle the key around, this works sometimes, if all fails some more drastic measures will be necessary. The bottom of the lock housing can be notched with a power cut-off tool which also will cut the pin off leaving just enough so a new pin will lock in,or the entire lock housing will need to be replaced, the lock cylinder can be drilled out but if not carefully done can damge the lock housing, those are pretty much the only choices left.
