I'm not aware of a way to fix this without removing the key cylinder and inspecting it.

Are you able to get into the car either through a lock on the passenger door or by climbing through the trunk so that you can get the driver's door unlocked and open?

Rod,

It was working fine all day today until I put my wife's 2003 taurus key into the lock. When I realized I had the wrong key, and put my key in, it would not open. I can get in on the passenger side and use the trunk lock.

Thanks,
