Ignition problem
06 xc70
Key will not go by the acc co can't start car
Manual states you may have to turn the wheel slightly
Still does not turn past acc
Only have one key

Turning the wheel only applies to moving the key from pos zero. If you are at posI (acc), then the wheel lock is already disengaged.

Common problem: A pin inside the tumbler breaks off and eventually causes the tumbler to get stuck.

Most likely the entire mechanical part of the ignition switch, made by Valeo in Germany. They are expensive, and are installed with "tamper-proof" bolts. Probably $600+ at a dealer for parts and labor.

You can "fix" this yourself by drilling or dremeling out the little cadmium plated 3 cm square piece on the bottom of the ignition switch (it is staked in place in the pot metal assembly). You can access this by dropping the steering column cover held in place with a couple of torx screws. When you do this, the square piece comes out, followed by a spring, and the tiny piece of the internal steering lock assembly that broke off and is jamming things. After this your key will turn again. With the key in pos I, squeeze and remove the steering lock cable. Everything will work fine, but you won't have a steering lock anymore.

If your steering wheel isn't locked right now, you can also unscrew the electrical part of the ignition switch and start the car with a small screwdriver.

There are good pics of this on Matthew's Volvo site. Good luck!
