check it the center area of key cylinder jumps up when u take key out ,if it does not ,just stick the key back in & then take key out in a rush this should allow key cylinder lock to jump up ,note it that is the case u will need a new key cylinder ,note not the switch but just the cylinder section ,dont bother to lube it ,if u dont know how to take that section out alone do not try to lube ,u will just be flooding the lower ignition switch section with fluid if u do.
