I'm confused. The Sticky Key Fix requires NO parts and is VERY easy to do. That fix and the RCM re-solder were the first things I did when we brought our '04 home last year.
Yes, the ignition key was sticking and required excessive jiggling to start; the dealer had no idea why. But this forum had educated me.
Concur with 180. Buying new parts for this fix is a waste of money Also, the new part may also have the original design flaw and require this fix in the future.
