Go to dealer, expensive, have to get one through them so key is the same as the original so you don't need two keys, door/ ignition. Tear apart steering column.

How do you know if you need to replace just the cylinder or the whole ignition switch on a 1999 Malibu?

The cylinder should not be worn out on a 99 car unless you were using a very heavy key chain. I would just replace the ignition switch if the cylinder works OK. You also might try some Graphite lube on the cylinder.

How can i changi the ignition lock cylinder in my 2000 Chevy Malibu?

You need to take the dash apart to get to it. I had the same problem in my 2000 malibu. Are u having a theft system problem? I was. You need to take the ignition apart too. Your going to need to reprogram the new ignition lock cylinder with your computer. To reprogram just turn the key to the on position (dont start it) let it sit for 10 minutes, repeat this 3 times. It should be programmed now. Now start it.

How do you start your 2001 Malibu with the theft lock on?

When you turn the key to the on position, the theft light should begin to flash. You must leave the key in the on position for approxamately 10 min. This will reprogram the key to the car. When this problem occurs, it is because the lock cylinder (ignition switch) needs to be replaced.
