Finally got my dinner.. ready to tear up my sandwich, and all of a sudden my key wouldnt go all the way into the ignition. I looked into it with a flash light and realized that there was little bronze colored chunks. I looked to check my key to see if it had broke, but my key was perfectly in tact. So then I figured someone just recently tried to steal my car. (with an autolock on.. IDIOTS!)<br /><br />IN A NUTSHELL>> WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO REPLACE MY IGNITION? STEP BY STEP PLS?
