URGENT! Help Needed with ignition

[jwoods3]

I'm in a parking lot right now in my 2003 GT and when I try to turn the key in the ignition, it doesn't turn and the "theft" light is flashing. It flashes about every second. I had the tuner plugged in but it didn't show any codes because I can't turn the ignition. Any ideas of what is wrong? Your help is appreciated. Without it I might be staying the night in this parking lot.

Have you backed into anything lately? If so you may have popped the fuel pump shutoff switch. This happened to me a while back and it was because i blew my PCM fuse. Check those and let us know.

The ignition is locked so I cant turn the key. There have been no issues as of late.

The key won't even unlock it? Is the wheel slightly turned agains the lock? Sometimes that'll make it hard to turn the key to unlock the wheel. So it won't even turn?Hmmmm, Thats wierd. Unless its the wrong key i don't see how it won't turn in the ignition. Mine turned and would crank just wouldn't turn over

If you cant get it to work by shaking the wheel back and forth while turning the key then you need a new lock cylinder.
