Ignition lock appears to be sticking or locking up as the day progresses

1997 Toyota Camry Key Wont turn, Ignition Lock problem -1997 toyota camry FIXED!!! I see a lot of Douches with a capital D trying to charge people to fix this extremely common issue with this Camry ignition cylinder. OK pull the plastic guard off encasing the steering column. Get a phillips head screwdriver and remove the 2 screws holding the little off-white connector at the rear of the module(it has the wires to the ignition running to it). Get a pair of pliers or a small crescent wrench and while trying to turn the key use the wrench to turn the little rod sticking out of the back of the module. Make sure your turning it WITH the direction the key is trying to turn it. It should immediate be freed. Voila IT WORKS! AND THATS WHY PEOPLE DONT TRUST MECHANICS! HOW CAN YOU CHARGE SOMEONE FOR THAT INFO?

Probably needs a new lock cylinder as I see 6 different manufacturers supply them, but it could be the ignition switch that the lock cylinder slides into, probably need a tech to trouble shoot this because the cylinder w/transponder key alone runs about $375. here's some prices from napaonline.com Ignition Lock Cylinder ECH Ignition Lock Cylinder w/out transponder KS6235 $109.00 w/ Transponder Key ECH KS6912L $344.00
