Default Re: Ignition key won't turn

Replacing the switch is fairly easy and doesn't affect the tumbler, keys or SKREEM.
First, remove the cylinder lock housing as you would for the Sticky Key Fix.
The actual switch attaches on the back of the cylinder lock housing with 3 screws.
However, if you are replacing the cylinder lock housing AND the switch, just re-use your existing tumbler and Bob's your uncle (as my Aussie bride would say).
