Hi,
I have a Ford Fiesta WS 2010 that the key won't turn in the ignition. (Steering wheel is also locked). We are going to go to locksmiths tomorrow, and try our luck having a new key cut, but I am thinking if the ignition barrel requires to be replaced, is it just a matter of pushing in the pins to remove the key tumbler? (With the steering wheel being locked, only one steering wheel surrounds screw is exposed, so it's going to be fun trying to remove the surrounds). If the current key is too worn to be copied, I am guessing we will have to source the key code from Ford. Another thing is too, this is my nieces car, and when she bought it some time ago, she only received one key from the previous owner. It's also not the original key; no buttons to unlock door. Did these models come out with a flip key originally, or did their original keys have buttons to remote lock/unlock the car? Thanks, Jim. |

My AU2 does it on occasion, it seems to happen if I park at full lock if I lift key up gently and wriggle steering wheel it loosens up and starts car,you need to turn key as you wriggle steering wheel.
Worth a try, good luck |

I got a new key cut, luckily the car book had the key number.
New key didn't work either. I am in the process of arranging a new ignition barrel kit, and the fun job of getting the old one out. I have wriggling all sorts of directions, etc. No good. I spoke to the locksmith, and he has offered to come around, and wriggle himself, which will be good as he would have more experience than me at feeling those things. |

I have removed the whole ignition lock assembly off the steering wheel column, I will now be able to work on it on a bench. I have ordered a new ignition lock kit for it, and replace it when it arrives. |
