98 Chrysler Cirrus

[Positronic Cat]

I recently had the ignition key on my Cirrus jam. I could put the key
in but not turn it. This has happened to me twice before, but a good
swift hit to the column seemed to unjam it. This time, no go.

Long story short, I used a dremel, and now have the Ignition
keyhole/tumbler assembly out of the column. I was wondering if anyone
knows where to get one of these to replace the one I distroyed. (oh,
by the way, the key turns just fine now after I tossed it on the
ground, finally un-stuck)

I've looked over a couple auto parts places online, but they either
don't show a picture, or they show a key/switch assembly that appears
generic that won't replace what I took out.


Thanks,
Posi

I don't know if these are available aftermarket, it might be a dealer-only
item. But here's where you want to forego the Internet approach and just
get someone on the phone and find out.
