When you insert the key, it will not start the car. Intermmediate problem. Have had the battery checked...ok and have tried using the extra key to see if original key is too worn. Problem is continuing even with the less worn key. Unsure what problem could be.
If you can turn the key, the problem is electrical. If you can't turn the key,is ignition look cylinder.buy new cylinder with the key. disconnect the battery,turn the cylinder to run position and push the look pin on the cylinder with small punch and pull. insert the new one and you are ready to go.
If the cylinder turn and don't start,is electrical.
with one hand turn and hold the key to starting position with other hand shift slowly from PARK to NEUTRAL. I the engine start ,adjust the neutral safety switch
For next you need helper.
one person start with the key and other with test light check if power go to the starter solenoid. if power go to the small wore, replace the starter
SOURCE: starter wont engage
The problem is either the starter solinoid (located on fender near battery) or you are not getting power to the "s" terminal on the starter solinoid from the ignition switch. If you follow the positive battery cable from the battery you'll follow it to the solinoid. Remove the small wire from the terminal marked "s" on the solinoid and using a screwdriver jump from "s" terminal (not the wire) to where positive battery cable connects to solinoid. (with battery connected). If starter doesn't do anything the solinoid is bad. If starter cranks then you are not getting voltage from ignition switch through "s" terminal wire.
SOURCE: Wont start unless jumped or restarted within 30 mins
I had the same problem, but it wasnt happening every time. Alt and Battery tested good. About 1 month later the alternator went out and I had to have it rebuilt.
SOURCE: key stuck in ignition
your ignition have to be replaced focus 2002/7 have that problem and a lot more often if you have a lot of other keys with it,try some wd40 ,but if you do take the key out replace the ignition or you going to get stuck.

you may want to take your key to the dealership and have them reprograme it.also check your ingnition switch
SOURCE: My Fusion wont start, I have had the battery
First make sure your battery terminals are clean and tight. If this doesn't fix it, the problem may be a short in your system that is draining the battery. This case will require troubleshooting.

When I go to start the car, everything else works-windows, radio, door locks. The only thing is the car will not start. When I go to start the car it makes a humming noise. It will generally start after about 15x of trying.
humming noise like the starter solenoid colic but don't turn the motor?inspect the battery terminal and starter terminal for good connection . burn or lose wire will create high resistance and low power.Clean the terminals from corrosion and insure the battery is fully charge. If all the connection are OK replace starter .
