I have a 98 Ranger XLT 4 dr, 166K on it. I have only had the chronic 'door ajar' problem, other than that I have had nothing but dependable service. Tonight I go tin the truck and the key would not turn, I made sure the wheel was pulled to relieve pressure on the column lock, the gear shift was locked in Park, foot on the brake, but the key simply would not turn. Thinking I may have accidentally damaged the key, I had my son bring a spare, same thing, Then all of a sudden, it released and the key turned fine. Mind you I tried for over 20 minutes. Any ideas???
