190 e 4 cyl, key will not turn and stearing wheel is locked up.
 
any one know what to do, my key will not turn the cylinder and the steering wheel is locked up. I did try jacking it up and moving the wheels, but no luck.
anyone have a similar problem?

If you can get the key to position 1, you can replace the tumbler. If you can't get the key to turn, you are in for an expensive repair.
If you will pm me your email address, I'll send you the repair files I have for both scenarios.

This happens to all these cars this vintage.

You'll need a new ign switch and when you take your VIN and proof of ownership to a dealer he'll order you one with key that matches what you have now.

Welcome Sal, I see you are new. Most of this information can be found by doing a search. Here is the link you need to find out how to get that pesky cylinder out.

Then you can order one from the dealer. Sometimes the dealer has a loaner cylinder till your matched one arrives. Good Luck
