One day my key is working perfectly in the ignition, the next it won't turn at all.
I've tried wiggling it for ages, wiggling the (locked) steering wheel, using the spare key, copious amounts of WD-40, giving it a decent tap with a hammer, running a paper clip up and down the inside of the barrel...
I know a lot of people say to get a new key cut from the VIN number but seeing as both my keys are working fine in the door lock i'm thinking it can't be the problem?
The last thing I can think of/read about is to force the barrel to the ACC position so I can remove and replace it?
Is this what a locksmith would do or would they have another solution?
Any help would be appreciated.
