When I put the key in the key cylinder and push it up toward the windshield the car won't start, however when I push it down it starts. Can you give me instructions on the replacement?

This is a pretty simple process but it may not be the lock cylinder. It may be the switch itself so I would start with this.

I attached the process for both. I would suggest starting with the cylinder and since it is so easy and then do the switch if that does not solve it.

Please let us know if you have questions and how you make out with this. Thanks

This is the part I need to change, or make thicker, the actual actuator...

Hi:

I noticed we haven't been in contact with you for a couple of days. Have you been able to make any progress? We're interested in knowing.
