chuye^.n la` va^`y. TR has an ancient Camry. Someone bumped into TR's car at night and fled. The impact caused the in the middle of the steering wheel (the horn part) to fly off. On the outside only the left mirror and signal lights were broken. At first TR thought it was a break in, but looking at the marks on the bumper it must've been hit pretty hard. Apparently the battery is still good 'cuz TR can still turn on lights and stuff, but TR can't jumpstart the car. To be specific, TR can't turn the key. What the heck?
The ignition lock and key are kinda screwy and worn out in the past so TR thought maybe now it's totally worn out. TR opened up the steering column and took out the lock to make sure that I could turn it. It could, but when TR put it back in TR still couldn't turn the ignition, not even one notch. Hie^?u TR no'i gi` khong?
So, TR wonder if the turning of the ignition is entirely man-powered or it partially needs battery power also (like how power steering works). Perhaps the car was hit so hard that some cable got disconnected and the car locks up the ignition? Co' ai bie^'t what's going on thi` help TR di'....
