Anyone have the same problem???
 
I've been having problems inserting my key into the ignition. It will only go in half way. I have a zx3 2000 model. The first time it started was yesterday...as i was getting ready to head out early this a.m. the key just wouldn't co-operate w/ me =( Nothing broke off, i tested it w/ the duplicate key and same problem. Any insight?

Hummmm, might try putting a tad bit of dry grafite in it , not much , as it can be bit messy, dont get it on your fingers or clothes.then insert the key an work the switch through its diff positions several times should work . if not hit it again with the grafite an cycle swith again .

If lubeing it fails then just replace the key cylinder. You can take it to a locksmith and have them make it work with the keys you already have (for the doors sack).
