Has anyone replaced the Sonata NF ignition lock cylinder. I've replaced in other cars but this one looks different. I have removed the kick panels and have taken the plastic light assembly off from around the switch. But I can not find the hole to press the button to release the cylinder. I don't have the new cylinder to see the location of the release button. I sure hope that I don't have to remove the entire switch assembly to pull the cylinder out. Any assistance appreciated. Are you there HyundaiTech!!

You've got the right idea. If I recall correctly-- not sure I do-- the hol e is on the left side. You'll be able to push the plunger in once the cyli nder is turned to the accessory position. You may need a right-angle tool to get in there. I've found a cotter pin remove works well.
Something like the bottom tool in this picture:

I doubt that this will help, but here are two links that I found when doing a little Google searching:

Make that 9 o'clock. I must have dyslexia.
