need alittle ignition switch help please
My ignition switch is getting pretty hard to turn, when you start it I have to pull it back to the on position it doesn't spring back on its own, some times I can pull the key out in the on position. would that be the tumbler assembly?

If you can pull the key out in the run position, that sounds like a bad key cylinder to me...
