Thank You, tried that yesterday with not luck, further investigation today revealed a broken purple and white wire in the plug at the bottom of the gear shift lever. A good friend came over with some of the very small pins / connectors, striped back the wire, slid it back into the plug all within about 20 minutes and the key now will turn to the lock position! However, when I open the drivers door with the key out of the ignition the chime dings until I shut the door. I don't recall it doing that before unless I had left the keys in the ignition? Any suggestions ?
