i have the original key thats 20 years old, so its pretty worn, but it is still able to lock and unlock the doors. i put it in the ignition this morning and it will go from position 0 to 1, but then it wont turn to 2. i also tried pulling the key out, rotating 180 degrees and putting it back in. any ideas of what to do now?

ok, to the dealership guy told me to take to covers off the steering column and see if its the starter or the lock mechanism that is the problem. i couldnt get the top cover off, but i was able to unplug the orange plug (#3) and can start the car with a screw driver now. so the good news is i can get the windows up, but i still cant get to the top cover off to really get to the steering lock (#4) to try to fix/replace it.
