As some of you know, I was scheduling a trip to TX to pick up my 10AE and drive it back to NC. Well I made it all the way from Dallas to Winston Salem (Clemmons actually) driving straight through and fell asleep at the wheel, so I decided to stop and get a hotel room for the night. JUST MY LUCK. The NCAA tournament prevented me from finding a vacancy ANYWHERE, so I decided to try my luck with the remaining 4 hour drive to Jacksonville. Well I get back in my car to start it, and the ignition cylinder just turns freely without any resistance. Now I'm stuck here in the freezing cold, but refusing to leave my car. No locksmiths are open today apparently, and there are also no automotive shops open. I really don't know what to do right now, and I'm almost to the point of a nervous breakdown. Is there anyone in this area that can help me?!



My # is 910-554-8480 as I most likely won't have the opportunity to use the PC (I'm using the one in the lobby at the hotel).

 

no help here, sorry dude

 

It's cool man. The guys in the Raleigh thread tried to help, but I wasn't able to log back in. Anyways I hotwired it, and fixed the problem when I got home. I wish I would have been in the right state of mind to notice the problem when it happened though. It was just the screw holding the ignition switch to the cylinder. It was loose, causing the key to actually push the switch out of the way.
