How long has your 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Make SURE the correct key is being used !
Remove key - Spray WD-40 into key slot in lock cylinder - insert key and rap key squarely with rubber mallet - turn key.
Go ahead and hit the key with some force - hell, it is not functioning as it is now anyway ..
By striking the key - you’re trying to force the stuck tumbler inside the lock cylinder to fall into place so key will turn..
Rap on it several times if necessary..
Let others know if this works out for ya by replying here.
Good luck!
