Ok the oddest thing ever happened this morning. I went out to start the car (2000 Contour SVT with 80k) like normal and the key wouldn't work. I only have one key for this car and I've had it for over a year. I've never had any issues with the key, ignition or locks. Everything has always worked great. The key wouldn't turn in the ignition. I thought I was going nuts and some how mixed up my keys with an old set I forgot to give to someone when I sold a car. I then tried the door lock and the key worked fine. WTF? Why wouldn't a key work in the ignition suddenly with no prior issues? I tried moving the steering wheel back and forth incase it was locked but it seemed fine. Actually now that I think about it I don't think the steering wheel locks on this car for some reason. Is that a clue?
