Have a great day. :)

thanks for the helpful info guys

I tried...2nd key...jiggling....vibration...cursing....praying.....no luck....tumbler is still stuck in position 0, shifter is stuck in P.... I think im toast...=(

should I start drilling the stuck tumbler??

Have you got another key to try. I had a problem with my key sometimes not turning the ignition tumbler and tried a different key and that was the problem with mine anyway....just a thought....
