I need to know the steps required to replace the lock cylinder. The key has been giving me trouble since I purchased the car in 02, now it quit completely. Removed the electrical switch from the back of the cylinder and car will start with screw driver, but stalls, anti theft device kicks in, need to replace cylinder, but not sure where to start. Thanks for any info

Just remove the negative(-) battery cable, and wait 2-3 minutes.
