The original issue was that the ignition cylinder that the car came with had the wire cut. I had a lock smith come down and try a bunch of keys till he got it to turn and release from the lock position.
We then rotated the new one to match where the last one was removed from to click into place, and the car could now start up. But now the issue I noticed after he left is that I can't rotate the key back to the lock postion to eject or slide out the key. It's like it's stuck in postion '2' as if it were position '1' where the electronics can come on. It can turn to position '3' where the electronics come on and then finally can start aswell at position '4.'
There's just no position one, or turning the key backwards for the radio or w/e, and because of that I can't release the key.
My theory is that the old ignition cylinder might've been removed in postion '3' or so and now I can only insert it on position '3' or '2,' causing me not be able to rotate it back.
ideas please?
