Is the ignition key chipped, or what?
I keep one of my beautiful Ford Mustang's in a garage. Anyway, any so and so day when I want to drive it I have to boost it up because the battery I have is pretty much dying and I need to buy a new one as soon as possible. So today I go over to my garage and want to take my car out for a quick spin. I figured the battery was dead so I was ready, but something weird happened. My car key remote refused to even unlock the doors. "Uh oh" I thought. Now I'm in some real deep issues because the remote is usually what I use to unlock the car. I can't unlock the car from my driver's side. It is completely messed up and the passenger's side has no keyhole.
I wondered what I'd do for 20+ minutes. I tried wedging it, didn't work. I tried using a coat hanger; didn't work. I tried sliding in through the trunk side… Didn't work. I tried opening the driver's side with my key and it finally opened. But now I put the key in the ignition, and it refuses to turn. My goodness, now what do I do? Is the key chipped? I can't buy another one right now. I don't have a spare $150 from the ridiculous dearships
Neat story.
Same thing happened to me with one of my Ferraris. I wasn't smart enough to figure it out either!
Sounds like you may be using the key and fob from one of your other beautiful mustangs.
Your mom is calling you for dinner.
nice story.
Sounds like the battery is completely dead. Get a battery. Then if you can't turn the key, try wiggling the steering wheel back and forth. Sounds like your beautiful Mustang is about shot.
Cool story troll.
- How to remove ignition switch Cylinder from 98 ford crown victoria if the ignition cylinder is stuck? I have a 98 crown Victoria. And i used a wrong key by mistake yesterday and now my actual key won't work. I've tried removing the ignition lock cylinder but any video i watch on Youtube tells me to turn the key to replace ignition lock cylinder but i can't do that because its jammed. I've tried jiggling the steering wheel and turning the key but no luck. Pretty sure its the ignition lock cylinder but i can't get the damn thing out without turning the key
- Key keeps getting stuck in the ignition? I have a 2008 Ford focus, bought the car for my daughter as a starter car for univesritys and just something instead of using the big truck. The key got stuck twice sense we got it a month ago, but it's always in the off position. When you turn off the car took the keys out to fill my car with gas then go pay for it, came back out my keys in then they wouldn't turn until a couple try's. Why is this?
