I replace the ignition cylinder on a car I had a couple of years ago. From what I was told, it's generally the same procedure on most cars. You have to remove the steering wheel. You'll need a special tool to take it off. A lot of auto stores will loan you the tool for free. Make sure you mark the alignment of the wheel on the column. If you don't, the steering wheel will not be 'straight' after you put it back on. On my car, the cylinder was right under the wheel. I think it was held in place with a couple of screws. Changing it was really easy. Just pull the old one out and put the new one in. If you have to take apart any of the steering column, take your car to a mechanic to have the cylinder replaced. I've been told that dissassembling the steering column can be a real mess to put back together!

Why is your 1987 lebaron dinging inside constantly like headlights are left on?

Your key switch contact inside the ignition switch cylinder may be stuck closed. You may need to replace the switch or the ignition key cylinder. On a Ford and GM, the contact is replaceable without the ignition switch, but requires the steering wheel removed to replace it. Not sure what is required for the Lebaron, but it is not a major task to do for a mechanic.
