How can the steering column of a 1997 Taurus be unlocked if the key will not turn?

In: Ford Taurus [Edit categories]

Answer:

In most cases the problem is that either the gear shift isn't completely in Park, or the column lock isn't lined up quite right to the keyway. Check the gear shift first. If that doesn't work, rock the steering wheel back and forth while turning the key foreward and backward.
