Ignition not working properly

Hi,

If you are able to keep it running by holding the key in a specific location, it sounds like the switch itself is internally bad. That would be my first suspect.

The issue with the replacement is you will need to have a five-digit code for the theft protection related to the radio and perform a relearn for the airbag. It should be in the original owner's manual.

If you look at the pics below, first I provided the instructions for disarming the coded theft deterrent. The last three pics explain how to disarm and arm the airbag. I read through the directions and there is one thing I don't like. In the directions, they don't indicate reconnecting the battery after the connectors for the airbag are reconnected. Do that first and then reconnect the battery.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
