2004 Ford Focus Ignition won't turn at all

It’s a very common problem with focus. If you do a quick search online you’ll find many websites about it and how you can get the key to turn if you hit on it with a screw driver/small hammer. If I were you I wouldn’t take the car to a Ford dealer because they’ll just replace the ignition switch with the same type of switch that will inevitably lock again at some point. I would call a locksmith in your area about it. It’ll be cheaper and they’ll do a more permanent fix.

Thank you so much for your help. We did call a locksmith and he was a lot more help then the Ford Dealer was who never even returned our call. I had called before I saw your post. One would think the dealer would be more help, but just like always the little mom and pop shops around town know more. Thank you again for your help.

Hello,

No problem, I’m glad you got it figured out. You’re right, it’s a shame the dealer is no help. It’s also a shame Ford isn’t doing anything about these ignition switches that don’t work well.
