I'm a locksmith and my customer is a used car dealer
Customer called and stated he's got a new ignition cylinder from the dealer and asks if I could install it.
After checking this forums for removal instructions, I removed the ignition bracket from the car and was able to remove a small cover that revealed a spring and rectangular piece, that once removed allowed the key to turn.
I replaced the ignition cylinder (special order items are not returnable) and replaced the ignition switch (electrical switch on the back side of ignition bracket got damaged upon removal).
Now that the vehicle is back together, the key turns, dash lights illuminate but the motor does not crank.
This vehicle has a manual trans.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
