Key wont turn

If the anti theft indicator remains on when you turn the key to the on position then you'll need to reset.

To reset the system, get in the car and shut the door. Turn the key on to the "Run" position without cranking the engine. Leave in run position exactly 10 minutes. Turn the key to the off position without removing it and back to "Run" for 10 more minutes. Turn the key off again and back to "Run" for 10 minutes a third. Turn the key off and then attempt to start the engine.

try getting key reprogramed

Does the key have a chip on it?

The problem can only be one of three things. Steering column, ignition or key. When there is tension on the steering wheel it will prevent the key from turning. If the linkage in your ignition is bad it will prevent it from turning. If your key looks worn or marred (it doesn't always have to be bent) it wont turn.

Have you tried turning the steering wheel hard to the left or right when turning the key to make sure that the wheels werent turned when you shut it off and caused the power steering to jam against the steer lock mechanism. This will happen and the key will not turn.

Check the battery in each fob -- batteries could be weak.

TWO THINGS TO TRY... FIRST DISCONNECT BATTERY. LEAVE DISCONNECTED FOR TWENTY MINUTES, WHILE DISCONNECTED TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE RUN POSITION AND LET SIT...AFTER 20 MINUTES TURN KEY OFF RECONNECT BATTERY.. THEN TRY IF STILL NOTHING, THEN TRY TURNING KEY TO THE RUN POSITION AND LEAVE FOR 10 MINUTES.. THEN TRY IF STILL NO THEN GET BACK WITH ME FOR FURTHER INFO
