Hello all!
My fiancé is off serving in Iraq and for reasons unbenknownst to me, he's left his two mustangs, which are his pride and joy, under my care. One of them is a '92 5.0 LX hatchback with a stickshift transmission. The other is a '66 289 automatic. My job is to just run them every once in a while (I normally just drive our Focus). You'd think I couldn't screw that up, right? Well somehow I did.
My problem is with the '66. I decided that it's time to run it for a while because it hasn't run in quite some time. But now I've been faced with two problems that might seem rather silly to ya'll but really I can't solve them!
When I tried to start it up I twisted the key around a little and somehow the keyhole came out! I've managed to fit it back after a little tinkering, but when I turn the key there doesn't seem to be any response. How do I fix that? Is the keyhole supposed to be detachable like that?
My second problem is that I can't seem to lock the door. I got it open just fine, but now it doesn't seem to want to lock from the outside. I turn the key really hard but it seems impossible. Do I simply not have the strength to lock it or is there something else I'm supposed to do?
Any help is much appreciated. I would talk to my fiancé but he can only call me at certain times and we don't have much time when he does call.
