In my case, I didn't have a car key to unlock the cylinder! This changes the plan a bit. key or no key you will need to first unplug the positive side battery cable. 1, Remove the diagnostic input plug from the panel under the steering wheel, just to get it out of the way because you are going to drop two panels to get to the ignition cylinder. There is a plastic beauty panel and a steel panel under the steering wheel, both are going to be removed. The plastic panel has four push in inserts that pop out with a screw driver, two on one side of steering wheel and two on the other side. This unsnaps the plastic panel on the top closes to the col-em. Now move to the bottom of the panel! There are six black plastic inserts that hold a grey dust cover extending toward the back and the beauty plastic cover. These inserts are vertical and push up through the plastic cover and dust cover. Remove these six black inserts. this will allow the first panel to come off. Remove the steel panel under the steering wheel (Four 10mm bolts and Four 7mm. The four 10mm are up in the holes of the panel. Remove the steel panel. pull the cover around your stereo and ac off to access from that side. pull your stereo out and disconnect it. Now you have access to remove two 7mm screws that drop your whole ignition cylinder housing out. you will need to come down between steering column and console. this takes a little twisting to get it out as there are two awkward arms to the housing. It's easier to disconnect the two main electrical plugs at the bottom of the ignition. Now it should be ready to drop. the cable hooked up on the back is flexible enough to remove in place. you do not need to remove the cable! With the whole cylinder out you can now unlock and pull the center cylinder out with the key. there is a metal square that is a lock to hold the key cylinder into the cylinder. this lock is visible its the only metal you will be able to see on the cylinder. push this in with a screw driver and hold it as you turn the key on. when the lock drops the key cylinder can then be pulled out. Remember! as you pull this center cylinder out three wires inside the cylinder are being pulled out too. then, when you push the new cylinder in the connection will be connected again. You will understand this as yo visually inspect the new key cylinder and its mechanisms. once you have replaced everything. the car will not start! There is a trick to this anti theft system. There are diodes ranging in different ohms to the three wires in the cylinder. the electronic control module (ECM) holds these diodes and reads them according to the cut on the key. However, you have a new key now and it wont read it. the brain is being told there is a different key being inserted. Therefore, you have to program you brain to read the new key. this is done by inserting key and turning to on position. the security light will flash. wait 10 minutes until light stops flashing. when it does restart sequence over two more times for a total of three intervals of 10 minutes. after the third time your car will start because the ECM has now programed that key to the ECM. This system stops ignition systems from being started with screw drivers after the ignition has been snatched out with dent pullers. Nice!
