Ok, well, this is strange, tell me what you make of this. I had the key in the ignition and pressing the door lock and unlock on the key while trying to turn and suddenly it did turn, unlocked the shifter and everything, but would not start!! This battery is less than one year old so I didn't really consider that as a likely possibility. Then I tried to jump start it like I read in another post to tell whether it's the battery or not and it would not start, and the key would not turn again.
