Went out this morning, to start 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse, believed to be a 1.8 (sticker under hood) but has turbo button.
130,000 miles
The ignition switch locked solid, wheel wont turn, can't of course get it out of park, even the seat belts that are automatic retracks when the door opens, sit idol.
Tried two different keys, unplugged the battery cables, checked fuses. Nothing has seemed to work
Does anyone have an idea why all has locked up solid?

This sounds like two different problems. 1) The steering wheel is probably jammed against a lock. Try forcing it a little in both directions while you turn the key. (Try not to bend the key. If you move the wheel enough, the key should turn normally.) 2) Is there any power at all? Have you checked battery voltage? If the battery voltage is ok, somewhere between 12.5 and 13 volts, check the power cables at both ends and ground cables at both ends. Posting your findings will help to provide insight to the problem
