I have had all the parts in hand separately and I don't feel any sticking. When I just have the lock cylinder in hand and insert the key and turn no sticking or binding is felt on turning or insertion or removal.
But when all 3 parts are assembled, such sites not stay car nor does steering wheel lock engage when key is removed. It works perfectly when electrical switch is not piggy backed on rear of lock housing. I just wonder if some component inside the lock housing is worn that is causing the problems. I put a little light lubricant in there but no luck. I'm stumped. Mike On Nov 17, 2013 12:06 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Did you try dry graphite powder?
