I took the plastic off the steering column and saw where the ignition is and where the key goes in and all that :p and if it is that, I see no reason I couldn't change it.... Does this sound like something that would be? It has done this before several time. On those occasions I thought it was the battery, since someone had taken the battery out and so I got out and beat on the battery, but this in effect meant that I took the key out and put it back in and started it. I just learned my mom has had it happen and she said that she would have to take the key out and put it back in to make it work. Well it isn't working now, not by taking the key out, putting it in, wiggling it around, no trick I try is getting it to start for anything. The battery seems to work, the car was broke into recently so the radio is gone :mad: , but the lights come on, so all I can say is that it clicks. :eek: I hope that this is detailed enough to help you. :rolleyes: Thanks! :D
