Well I have the same veh. As a tech,this is very hard to diag,but you can get them seperate.Just for your info they are not cheap and some auto stores have a non-refundable policy, only exchange. Also check the ign lock cylinder, can the key come out while in start pos, is it real loose.That can also be a factor??
