HI
MY CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM WONT RESPOND TO THE KEY WHEN I PRESS THE LOCK BUTTON, EVEN WHEN I LOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR THE OTHER DOORS DONT LOCK TOO, THE SAME APPLIES WHEN I LOCK OR UNLOCK AT THE TRUNK. THE BATTERY IS GOOD AND THE LIGHT FLASHES O NTHE KEY WHEN I PRESS.
MY SECOND QUSETION IS THAT MY IGNITION WONT TURN, WHEN I PUT IN THE KEY IT WONT TURN TO ON OR START THE ENGINE. IT FEELS LOCKED I HAVE TRIED TURING THE STEERING WHEEL THINKING IT ON WHEEL LOCK BUT STILL NO RESPONSE. HELP ME IM SO FRUSTRATED BY THESE PROBLEMS.

The ignition key fits into the lock, the lock sits in a housing, the housing has failed internally. It is a typical failure. The central locking may be related. A short test is in order(with the factory software) to determine a plan for repair.
