Thanks everyone for your help and concern. I was a bit panicky as I needed to pick up my son, etc. I managed to get a hold of my mother-in-law and she picked him up from preschool and my father-in-law picked me up at work and he gave the ignition a try and tried everything I had, but nothing.
Next day, got a tow truck to haul the car to the dealer for a 5-6 day sojourn for the part to arrive. I have roadside assistance, so I only had to pony up $8 for the towing. They didn't have any loaner cars available at the dealer, so I went to Enterprise, and low and behold, they had a 2005 white S60 in the parking lot. I asked about that and I'm driving that around for a couple days until the weekend!
To Klaus...I didn't get your message before I left work for the day. However, if I would have called you, it would have been a local call! My car is currently at Borton in Golden Valley.
To BB...It may sound strange, but it's a relief that you said that using the lock lubricant wouldn't mean the ignition lock switch cylinder didn't need replacing, because the part has already been ordered! If it was just a matter of some lubricant, I would be kicking myself right now. Very much appreciate your input and help!
