Key was the ignition but wasn't broke. now it wont turn over

SOURCE: Key wont turn

no it sounds like the ignition clinder is broken or worn down inside either that or maybe the key itself. get a new key made (local hardware store) and try that one if that doesnt work im afraid that you may need a new key and tumbler

see if you can get the lock out. If you can, you'll be able to turn the switch with a screwdriver. If needed, you can drill another hole in the cylinder where you think the locking tab would be, then push the tab with an allen wrench.

1. Remove the hush and knee bolster.
2. Remove the steering column trim covers.
3. With the key installed, turn the key to the RUN position.
4. Install an Allen wrench into the hole on top of the lock cylinder housing. Push down on the Allen wrench to release the tab on the lock cylinder inside the lock cylinder housing.
5. Slide the lock cylinder out of the lock cylinder housing.
