When I put my key inside the ignition the chime doesn't sound off. How can I fix this issue? Do I need to replace the ignition cylinder lock or a fuse in the fuse box?

Hello,

There is a small switch inside the tumbler that sounds like it broken or is getting bad connection. I would try contact cleaner inside the tumbler first and if that doesn't work here are diagrams to help you change the ignition tumbler out:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
