Hell All:

I had the exact same problem, my ignition key wont turn to position 1, so i followed all the steps in .pdf V.5. however ;after drilling the pin on step 10. i was not able to turn the key to position 1 either, so i decided to take the whole assembly out, without removing the black cylinder (since the instructions states to removed it on step 10 with key in position 1.).

so after having the assembly out, i removed the spring (even tho i had already drilled the pin), but the ignition key still does not rotate.

My question is, since i have not removed the black cylinder, would it be safe to remove it knowing its on position 0 ? maybe the black cylinder is pushing the plastic interlock button. the black cylinder has the flat edge at 12'clock btw.

any suggestions?
