Yeah, were kind of having the same problem, except that ours is completely broke to the point where we have to use a screwdriver to turn the ignition on and off. So what we want to do is replace the whole ignition completely, and do not know exactly how to do that? So if anyone has any information on how to do this, please let us know, please and thanks you!
