I cannot figure out the purpose of the spring or if I've even put it back in the right place
Any suggestions?
Best regards,

By the way, this is not the same spring that I was trying to remove to solve the sticky key. This spring fell out of the barrel of the ignition housing as I was hammering away with a punch (as suggested) to get to the "problem" spring.
It has been 3 years, almost 3 years and one month in fact - and I sure can't remember that spring.
BUT AGAIN, I keep telling people that you should fix the thing BEFORE it locks up for reasons like this.
Hopefully, your experience will convince someone to fix theirs before it actually locks up.
