I have a 2003 Ford Focus. My ignition lock wouldn't turn, thus not allowing my steering wheel to turn. I drilled out the ignition lock cylinder and the steering wheel was able to be turned.

Now, the ignition cylinder is still out of the vehicle and the steering wheel is still locked. I'm not sure why I was able to turn the wheel yesterday and the wheel is locked again?

I can start the car by holding my key next to the reader and turning the switch with a screw driver. What is locking my steering wheel??

Even though the material below is for Hondas, it may give you some insight into your Ford Focus, because many systems on various car makes are similar:
