I removed my switch per your instructions and then tested the mechanism with the switch removed. It worked perfectly but I had to remember to remove the key before the steering wheel would lock to confirm proper operation. I mention this because others may be tempted to replace the entire mechanism needlessly. I opened the faulty switch and found that it had broken internally preventing the assembly to turn properly. I would add this test of the mechanism with switch removed to the tutorial. Great site. It has saved me lots of money and aggravation. Thank you.
