I am not ruling this out as the issue, but I don't think this is it only because I was messing around with the electrical power the other day while testing the AAC lights. In order to hook up power to the LED's I used the main power wire to the engine compartment fuse box since it is easy to access. I am hoping that I just didn't tighten it back up. It is on my list to test tonight when I get home. I hope the taillights aren't the cause, because they are one of my favorite mods and I have not had any problems to date!

That was the first thing I tried. The wheels turn freely, but the key won't budge. I have let mine sit for long periods too without problems, which was part of my confusion this morning.

I will try this! The more I thought about it it makes sense that the lack of power caused the ignition to lock. Since the fuses for the starter and the ignition are under the hood, I am really leaning toward the loose power wire to the fuse box in the engine compartment. My dad is going to swing by the house in a little while to check it out for me while I am at work and if necessary put the battery on a charger.

Thanks for the input guys. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know! It is going to drive me crazy sitting here in the office wondering what it could be until I get home tonight.
