Default 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?

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).
