you have pushed the release finger to the bottom
irrigatingthe lock with WD 40 will help
bend a 1/8" diameter hook in the end of a paper clip
better to get an extractor pick from a locksmith supply or a locksmith
Assure them you are not picking a lock but pull up a locking finger in a Neiman lock
Take the car to them or
slide the hook down the slot when you get to the bottom tip the hook out to the center of the slotand pull up
Practice makes perfect
If you get it there will be a thunk like you usually get when you pull out a good key
The finger releases the lock bar into the steering shaft

Subject: [Peugeot-L] 405 ignition
All:
I seem to have accidently inserted my 505 key into my 405. The 505 key has had the rectangular slot cut out so that its end is a two-pronged affair instead of the normal key look (I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about--it's a fairly common fix in these cars.) Anyway, after realizing my mistake, I inserted the correct 405 key into the ignition, but it wouldn't turn (exactly as if the steering wheel were locked.) I'm figuring I caused the same ignition problem in the 405 as I had in the 505. My question is: Can I cut out the notch in the 405 key as I did with the 505 key? Will this fix my problem? Anyone have experience with this? (This is my first 405 and I couldn't find anything in the archives ...)
Thanks
Matt
