I changed the battery in my car. I didn't drive it for 7 days. I went to drive the car today and when I put the key in the ignition the key did not turn. I thought something was wrong with the chip so I went to dealership and had them cut me another key. The new key opens the door to the car but when I put it in the ignition the key does not turn.

Sounds like the ignition switch is just stuck. Here is a guide that will help with this. I would start with lubricating it as shown and then replace it if this doesn't work.

Below is the process on how to replace the cylinder if this does not work.

Let us know if you have questions. Thanks
