Spare Tire Lock
I tried unlocking my spare tire with my ignition key as the instructions say to do and the key doesn't fit. It goes about half way in and then won't go any further. I tried spraying WD40 in the lock and it didn't help. ANyone have the same problem? Any thoughts on how to fix this without having to go to the dealer? Thanks for all your help!

Those things are JUNK. Try spraying some PB Blaster in it and let it sit for a few. Then, tap on the key LIGHTLY with a hammer.

STOP!! Go get a new key made. Get one of the Ford blanks without the transponder. You do not want to screw up your ignition key. Then try the advice in post #2.
