have 89 5-speed that has been sitting for 2 years, wont turn over. alarm light blinks the whole time. does that have anything to do with it? turned the key back and went to the lock position on the key cylinder by pushing the button on the bottom of the steering column and now i cant get it to turn back to the on position. pushing in the button on the bottom of the column doesnt help. is there a lockout that isnt disengaging or some reason the key wont turn to on and are the two problems related? thanks for any help you can offer
 
Try wiggling the steering wheel when you try to turn the key.
I've learned that sometimes when you turn the key off the steering wheel lock engages and the steering system is puting pressure on the lock. By wiggling the steering wheel while turning the key the lock will release and allow you to turn the ignition key.
Hope this is your problem.:)
