Default Re: Sticky Ignition Key Fix for all Crossfires 2004 thru 2006

Or, does it have something to do with the operation of the locking rod and/or the key position? What exactly does it do? Should I ever have to do this job again, I wonder if simply removing the pin would solve the sticky key problem
Did you remove the pin and spring pictured in post 829? A new ignition lock unit is not a fix that will last very long. I'm a bit confused by your post. Sorry.
