How to get a dental pick that is broken off out of my car ignition?

My mom needs help… Somehow her great grandson stuck a dental floss pick in her older Ford Taurus car ignition… When she tried to remove it, it broke off! She said she's tried everything you can imagine to get it out and it won't come out… Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hmm. Well I'd recommend using a vaccum. Just bring the car close to the door and possibly use an extension cord. If that doesn't work, tweezerman makes really small tweezers, along with many other brands, so I'd try that. After that, I think I'd just take the car to the shop to prevent further damage.

The problem is that you can't get the key in to start the car to move it anywhere! However, I will share your suggestions with my mom.

  • Can i get out of a ford lease early? Or get a new car early? After my 2004 GTO broke down, i was forced to lease a 2014 Focus, for 3 years and had to get extended miles. Its been about 5 months since i've had the car and so far i hate it. Slow, cheaply made, stereo is terrible, no traction in winter, i don't like it at all. Is there any chance of getting out of the lease early or turning it in without hurting my credit, or even turning it in to lease a different car. Possibly a truck or taurus. Has anyone else been in this situation?
  • 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
