Had this problem a few days ago - one day my key worked perfectly, the next day it refused to turn at all. After following the suggestions in this thread it now works great. I used brake cleaner sprayed into the keyhole (must use the tube) and worked the key in & out several times, wiping it each time - lots of black junk came off on my towel. A word of caution, make sure you have something on the knee pad, because the brake cleaner will leave light gray spots where it drips (BTDT) - I think I fixed the spots. After I cleaned the key cylinder I put a thin coating of a gun coating that is non-oily and now the key turns smoothly again. Helpful thread - Thx to all.
