I would have the ignition itself replaced. These go out all the time and will leave you stranded. Get a new ignition keyed to your current key and you won't have to do programming. A locksmith can do this for you. Do it soon though before it stops turning.

How do you replace an ignition switch in a 1998 Saturn SL2?
Is should not be that difficult. Pickup a service manual, I believe that the Saturn uses GM's Passlock Anti-theft system. If you are having problems with the ignition or the car starting, it is more than likely thie ignition cylinder lock. This is a common problem with GM vehicles. This also should not be all that difficult to replace. There is a bit more to it than replaceing the ignition cylinder lock you will have to reprogram the system to read the new key unless you have the new lock keyed to match the original key.

How do you remove Fiat brava ignition barrel?
The appropriate way to remove Brava ignition barrel is to start by removing the ignition cowling. The housing is held in place by three screws located on the underside of the cowling. Remove the three screws and the plastic cowling. 2. You now have the ignition barrel holder exposed which is a long plastic cylinder running across the underside of the steering column. Looking at the underside of the cylinder you will see a small cut out in the cylinder. If you look in this cut out you will see a metal lug protruding into the cut out from the inside of the cylinder. Using a flat bladed screwdriver try pushing the lug towards the centre of the cylinder. If it moves inwards move to step 3. If it does not move turn the key in the ignition barrel and then retry pushing the metal lug inwards. 3. With the metal lug pushed in lever the ignition barrel out. The barrel should slide out easily. 4. If you are replacing the barrel with a second hand one please bear in mind that your ignition system will still require the transponder located in the key from the original ignition barrel. There are two ways of overcoming this the first is to strap the original key towards the outer edge of the ignition barrel either using electrical tape or a tie wrap. The second method is to obtain a transponder key with replacement barrel and remove the transponder out of this key and replace it with the transponder from your original key. The transponder looks like a black piece of metal which is wedge shaped. It is quite small and be careful not to drop it when taking the keys apart.
If a 1993 Dodge Spirit will not start but accessories and lights are OK and the ignition cylinder seems to have advanced one notch preventing ignition contact could this be the problem?
this has happned to my 93 dodge spirit just this week. brought it to the repair shop and it was the starter. if its the original starter(i am not the original owner) then im supposing it was due. overall, this is a good car and worth the money for the infrequent repairs. very few problems and a reliable, trustworthy friend. . It could be the back of the ignition key cylinder, they are prone to breaking. If the key feel like it turns farther now, but it doesn't crank, that is probably the cause.
