Thanks so much for the input and feel free to keep posting! I will contact the shop it's parked at in about 2 hours and see if they can look at it for me and I will bring them the key.
Sadly, I am very inexperienced with cars, only real work I did was being guided in helping replace the heads on my old 91 ranger about 6 years ago, so I don't have confidence in myself to work on my vehicle.
Thanks again and hope to hear thoughts from more people!
