Yep, the ignition tumbler is worn out and needs to be replaced. Here are diagrams to help you get the job done you can get the part from Amazon or RockAuto:
Removal
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight ahead.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK".
3. Disconnect the battery "- " terminal cable, and wait at least 5 minutes.
4. Disconnect the yellow 2-way SRS connector located under the steering column.
Caution: The wheels of the vehicle must be straight ahead and the steering column in the "LOCK" position before disconnecting the steering wheel. Failure to do so will cause the coil assembly to become uncentered which will cause damage to the coil assembly.
5. Remove the engine hood opening lever and steering lower cover.
6. Remove driver knee bolster (reinforcement).
7. When installing the steering column cover, be sure to wire (through each harness) as illustrated so that the harnesses starter switch, combination switch and SRS coil may not catch wiring.
8. Install steering wheel by aligning the setting marks made during removal.
Caution: Never apply force to the steering wheel in direction of the shaft by using a hammer or other impact tools in an attempt to remove the steering wheel. The steering shaft is designed as an energy absorbing unit.
9. Tighten the steering wheel fixing nut to the specified torque.
Torque: 34 Nm (25 ft. Lbs.)
10. Support inflator module and carefully connect the SRS connector and horn lead, then install inflator module.
Note: Pass the lead wire through the tabs on the plastic cover (wire protector) of inflator to prevent lead wire from being pinched.
11. Tighten fixing bolts to specified torque.
Torque: 9 Nm (78 inch lbs.)
12. Install driver knee bolster (reinforcement).
13. Install instrument panel lower cover, then install the engine hood opening lever.
14. Connect the yellow 2-way SRS connector located under the steering column.
15. Connect the battery ground cable.
Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
Cheers, Ken
