I think my ignition key cylinder might be the source of the short I've been having. If its not the source of my short its broken anyhow. It jams, keeps ringing when I remove the key and has been doing it for several years. I thought maybe a piece of metal broke off the cylinder causing those problems. So, I figured I would remove the cylinder and see if its damaged. The thing won't come loose. I've watched how to get it out in several youtube videos but it seems that whatever is broken loose is covering the hole the push pin is supposed to be pushed into. I cant get whatever is in there to move.
Is there a trick to getting the cylinder out when this happens? I spent 45 minutes messing around with it and had nothing to show for it except being pissed off. Its supposed to pop right out.
