Second Ignition (electrical part) Failure in less than a Year 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe S. on  Wed Aug 17 03:05 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello,

The return spring is in the electrical part of the ignition switch (the part you have replaced already), not the actual lock cylinder. Remove the switch and the lock cylinder will not spring back (at all). If it has been less than a year or 12k miles, you can get a new switch under parts warranty. Anyway, there may or may not be anything wrong with your lock cylinder, but as for your symptoms, I would bet money on the ignition switch itself (usually if the lock cylinder goes south, it will either not let go of the key or will not turn at all; it doesn't cause these issues).

I hope this helps...
