Caddilac ignition locked
Someone had gotten into my car had no keys and was trying to start the ignition with a wrong key (fake key) and also stuck a metal pick in the ignition when i found the keys, went to start and ignition wont budge. the security light is on working correctly. the key will no longer lock car from outside but will unlock. im wondering how i can fix this to get to start or if i need to get a whole new ignition???

You need a new ignition switch lock cylinder. You must first read the resistance of the key to order this part. It is the little wire embedded in the black plastic near the shank of the key, you need a Digital volt-ohm meter to read it.
That is the reason you must replace it. This will be a job for either a dealer or a locksmith.
