Dodge Neon Ignition Switch

can he still start it and shut it off with it still in there? if he can i would just leave it in there and put a club on the steering wheel to make sure no one steals the car.

The tumbler/wafers in the switch are bad, if your friend takes and taps on the key as he is turning it, it may turn and come out. The key has to be tap as you want to make it go further into the switch while you turn it. The cylinder is easy to remove but it has to be recoded with new wafers/tumblers. This is assuming that he is not having a problem with the shift linkage on the floor.

Thanks. I think we will try to replace the switch. I've never doen that before but another mechanic emailed me and said just push up through the access hole in the shroud as you turn the key.
