You do not have to beg , you pay the shipping and like I wrote make an offer. The money isn't everything lets say $40.00 and you pay shipping,or best offer.....

I had the key in all the way, yes. I turned it, and I used my spare key! I'll have to try soem 3 in 1 oil real quick, but I doubt it'll do anything... I've already done that bagdb2200. I took the ign. switch out and use a screwdriver to start it. Lol, funny thing was, I got it started and then went to take my buddy home and I started backing out and click, the steering wheel locked! I forced the key as much as I could and got the wheel to unlock. I have'nt been able to get it to turn since!

I think getting a new set is going to be my last resort. I don't want to cough up all the money for it and have it happen again sometime down the road! I have an alarm on my truck, so it would'nt necessarily matter if I had a toggle switch for the ignition! If someone tries to get in my truck when its armed, the starter is dead. If someone tries to hold me up when my alarm is disarmed and the truck is started, I hit my lock button on my remote before he takes the truck and 1 minute down the road the truck will die on him!

So anyways, I'm going to try and get the pushbutton ign. going today. I just can't find the data to wire it all up! Car Toys would'nt release the info. on it, so I gotta google it! Of course, I'm not stupid, I know about the toggle switch for the ign., lol!

WOW! This is a profound moment! To say the least, I've put about a teaspoon of 3-in-1 oil into the lock cylinder, and it WORKS! Oh, wow! It took a couple hundred turns to free it up, but I think it works better than before!

I was told not to ever use lube oil, just grpahite for these kinds of things, guess there wrong! I'm glad it was that simple! I suppose the push button ignition is going to have to wait. No sense in making it until I need it... Lol! Or rig it up so I can use the key on some days and the switch on others. Just gettin' lazier and lazier!
