check your ignition look for scapes or pieces of metal shards on the carpet, at anytime did you leave the car unlocked while you went into a shop? you may have been the victim of an attemped car theft. get an auto locksmith to check the cars ignition.
If you want to ignite the gallaxy use some petrol & a match. Vesta are the best!
It sounds like either the tumblers inside the keyhole are damaged (or the key itself is worn) or perhaps the actual ignition switch (which is connected to the tumbler via a metal rod and is located at the bottom of the steering column) is worn. The second scenerio is actually alot easier to replace than a worn tumbler section. If it is worn tumblers, a new lock cylinder (and matching key) will be needed, and most vehicles will need to have the steering wheel pulled for this repair. If it is the ignition switch, only 2 or 3 bolts hold it in place, and it is really easy to get to. What would really help out here is the year of your car.Ford used several types of ignition setups, and the much older Galaxies used a setup where the lock cylinder AND ignition switch were combined and was located in the dash, not the steering column.
buy a new car lol lol
is the steering wheel turned to either side. The steering wheel lock works with the key. Try turning wheel left and right while you operate key.
sounds like the lock has collapsed inside, happened to my 2001 mondeo cost 20ish quid for a new kit, remove barrel and rebuild quite straight forward.
go and get it repaired you moron
Ask your kids if they have put supa- glue in it?
