The odds are that your lock itself has also worn. SteveMac did a "how to" including part numbers on how to change the complete ignition switch and lock. The parts aren't very expensive and it'll cure your problems with the key and rule out the ignition switch as your problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
