Hello Yall,
I was unfortunate enough to take the ignition switch apart trying to figure out why the "15 A engine fuse" kept blowing. I am having a hard time sliding the lock cylinder back in its original place. I can slide it back in up to 1/2 of its final locking place, but I am unable to make the male "U" at the end of the lock cylinder line up with the "U" Socket inside the cylinder. Turning the key is not helping. Does anyone know the trick to getting the Lock Cylinder to line up? I would hate to spend $104 if I don't have to. By the way, the issue is not the "lock pin" because I am able to slide the lock cylinder almost all the way in by first turning the key about a 1/4 turn until the lock pin was in the "Unlocked" position...I just can't line up the end of the lock cylinder with its socket at the bottom of the cylinder.
Thanks a lot for all your help
