The Nat's ring around my ignition is broken. I found a new switch with the key at a junk yard. I can also get the body control module. (All for about $35.00) My question is if I change the switch along with the BCM would it work or would I still have to go get it reprogrammed? Thanks for any help.

We finally got the switch and bcm changed. It won't start. It's like it's not getting fuel. It will turn over but that's all. Any thoughts?
