I went out to my car at work and entered it with my remote, put the key in the ignition and it won't turn past the first bar. (All lights come on as normal in car, battery seems to be okay.) I had a spare key and tried that, but won't turn past first bar. Tried wiggling the stirring wheel, pressed the override and moved the shifter to neutral, and nothing. My key works in the driver door lock.

Is this an anti-theft lock problem? It is a humid 36 degree winter day. Could the humidity cause a short in the electrical system?

Please respond as soon as possible. I'm stuck here at work and can't figure out what to do next, as all service stations are closed or closing. I called the dealer but they acted like they never heard of this happening.

Help!!!
