Many keys today have a microchip in the key itself, and if the chip has malfunctioned the car won't respond normally. Your second key working is proof the trouble is in the key not the car. I think they can be checked in some Autoparts stores.

Testimonial: "Thanks Old F.,but they cut-off some of my description of problem, Rodeo has done the same with "BOTH" keys ! Was just out in the driveway, I'm about 99% its a bad spot on the Starter Motor ! I get 'Nothing' the first 2 tries, then I get a "Solid" sound from the Starter twice, then it fires right up. It did this 3 times in a row !"

2003 Mercury Marauder will not start with key ?

What exactly do you mean by 'Will not start'? Does it do nothing at all? Does it crank very slowly? Does it 'Clunk' then do nothing? Comment below with more information and I'll see if I can help more.
Get the starter motor and its wiring connectors Re-checked you do sometimes get 'Dud' car parts even when new. I had a brand new wheel bearing that lasted 140 miles then collapsed.
Bump starting doesn't use the starter motor at all to turn the engine. Bumping is where you start the vehicle using a 'back to front' method. Bumping in gear turns the wheels, which turns the transmission, which turns the flywheel, turning the crank to start the engine missing the starter motor out altogether.

Hello I have a 2000 saturn sl2 and steering wheel is locked. I can't even move the gear shift into nuetruel. Is there anything that i can do to fix yhis problem?

Can you turn the key? Some makes and models, if the steering wheel is causing tension on the key cylinder causing it not to turn, Sometimes you can pull ******* the steering wheel, one way or the other, to release tension on key cylinder in order to turn the key. Once you turn the key, steering wheel releases, hopefully.
If you can turn the key, turn to acc, set parking brake, step on the brake, hopefully then you can shift into neutral. That should bypass shift interlock. This info may be in your owners manual?
