Ignition problem

Thanks Test Point for the information. The key now turns 1 position but nothing. The battery is good. The key locks and unlocks the door. When the door is looked the beep of the alarm set sounds. I don't have a spare key. Since the door locks and alarm sets is that still a potential indicator that the key and transponder have lost sync?

Again thanks for the help and information Test Point. I was able to start the car after reading another forum that suggested that I turn the steering wheel and see if that worked. IT WORKED.
This was the explanation I read (What is happening is that the steering colum/ignition lock is binding because the lock mechanism is being subjected to torsional loads from the load placed on the steering colum/igniton lock from the front tire/wheel asssemblies. Just give the steering wheel a tug to the left or right(which removes the load/binding from the ignition lock) and hold it in place and then the key will cycle completely and the engine will start. )
Again I'd like to thank the forum for their help and I'd appreciate any other suggestions.
