One night my key was stuck in the ignition and then it finally caame out and now I put the key in and it won't turn?
I was going to replace the lock assembly on it only, and i don't know how to get the assembly out without turning the key?

If you have a test light, check for continuity the wiring from the ignition-->starter, battery-->starter, ground wire from starter-->chassis ground.
