Tim, sounds like tumblers in ignition may be sticking or your keys cut worn out, put key in ignition and hit end of key sharply/some force with a small hammer, wrench, screw driver handle what ever you have, try turning key.
If this dose not do it call a good locksmith, they are cheape then the dealer.

If steering wheel is tight try shaking it back and forth the locking pin might be a little jammed and try turning key when doing so --also check key if worn or key cylinder worn will have difficulty turning try jiggling key while trying to turn it if no good try spare key no spare might need to get a key or cylinder replacement

Testimonial: "That worked I'll probably get the ignition re keyed. Thank you!"

1997 Chrysler Sebring Convertible electrical issue

Start testing the lighting circuits with a ohm meter for shorts. Sometimes it's impossible to get to the wires without taking the entire car apart. Never do this, instead find a good part of the circuit with your ohm meter
and make a connection there with a new wire.
More common is switch issues or loose connectors.
Obtain a shop manual for your model and refer to the electrical parts section.
Don't worry about the cost of the shop manual, it will pay for itself.

I have a 2005 convertible. The key apparently

If you remove the door panel, you will see that the key hole mechanism is actually connected to the latch with a metal rod.
The metal rod is attached with plastic clips.
One of the clips probably broke and the key hole is no longer attached to the latch.
