Ford Focus 2004 ZX3 problem with ignition lock. Key goes into slot but will not turn over the starter. Never any problem before. Entire steering wheel is locked won't budge. Is this a lock problem or a fuse problem?

    Check the neutral gear switch in the shifting mechanism. I had the same problem with my chevy impala many times; a smart tow truck driver figured it out for me. If you can rock the car, you may get the switch to unlock. I finally got the dealership to replace the switch (which was quite a job!) but I had to really argue with them as they could never duplicate the problem naturally! BUT it has not happened ONCE since the switch was replaced. It was about a $1500 job but luckily my car was still under warranty!
