Just had ignition switch changed (steer lock, bolt, cylinder) now ABS light stays on and they said because spring is stretched to airbag. It never did that before they worked on it. Could they have stretch it changing the ignition switch?

Yeah, it could. If they removed the clock-spring then I suspect they did not put it back in centered. See the attached process on how to do it. If you had this work done, then they need to fix it so I would call them back and tell them what you have. I would be surprised if they didn't just fix it as soon as you can get it back to them.

Let me know if you have questions or how you make out with this. Thanks
