Well from every other site I have read on a battery dieing like that is a ignition switch but deffinatly not a gear head I haven't had the battery tested yet but will do soon the key comes out fine and rotates all the way over it does the same thing I have seen a lot of people deal with where the key gets locked and you have to push the button under the steering column to release it but has done that for years now

when you jump start it, is the whole car dead? no horn or windows working? if the whole cars dead, check out the batt and the alt.

Yeah when I have had to jump it everythings dead no power locks or anything like that so battery and alt will be checked first

out of all the different ways to test a battery and/or an alternator, the one i think is best is the kind that you clip onto the battery, and it reads the volts, that test where the battery is, then you start the car and re read the tester, and that reading is the alt voltage. if its charging at 13 or to 14 is good, any lower than a 12.7 and its toast.
every time i remove the alt and take it to be tested, they are wrong, brand new tested good 2 times, and it was bad, a good one i had tested bad, autozone sucks a big one and pep boys aint to far behind.
