05 F150, Can't turn ignition key at all. Tried turning the steering wheel and making sure shift lever are in park. Jacked up both front & rear of truck to release any pressure. Nothing works.

ive had these aggressively steering lock on me many times. I would try to turn the wheel while turning the ignition. Don’t be afraid to give her all you got but only one direction will work so try to determine which way you need to rotate the steering wheel.

Straight. Steering wheel is locked. I can rock it back and forth enough to rattle no it. I just want the damn cylinder out at this point.

Wrong key or damaged key .If you can't find the other you may have to talk to a locksmith or dealer ; It takes two orig electronic keys to make another . It not the metal key part thatsthe copy problem . Its the pats electronic anti theft . Any place can make a metal key but it won't start the truck . But even to do that you have to have one good metal key .
Dealer is supposed to verify you are the owner with the right paper work . I don't know what they do if metal not turning tumblers maybe a new lockset . Could get expensive .
Maybe somebody that has had this happen will chime in .
