Default ignition switch problem

I am having a problem getting the key to turn at all to try and start my 91 crx hf. it wont budge.
i was working on it for awhile just cleaning things up and now it will not turn. I did have a wrench slip and it shorted the 2 battery terminals for a split second. I dont know if that would have an affect on it or not. I checked all of the fuses and they all checked out fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Josh

check your battery fuse on the fuse box in the engine compartment.

i checked it and it definately looks a little discolored but its reading 2 ohms of resistance so i dont think thats my problem. i have power to my fuses on the inside of my car. at least my radiator fan is kicking on cause i have it hooked to a switch momentarily until i fix that problem also.

Ive also moved the steering wheel back and forth to see if that loosens it up and i still get nothing.

fixed it for now. I sprayed some wd40 in it and it loosened it up.
