    Key won't turn ignition after trying new uncut key for size

    I stuck a new uncut key in my ignition to see if it would fit. After I pulled it out and tried my original key the original key will not turn in the ignition now. What did I screw up? Is there any way for me out of this without calling a locksmith? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Easiest way to replace the oil pressure switch??

    Recently my oil pressure gauge in my 01 explorer started acting up. After looking through quite a few threads it seems that it's probably the sending unit.
