Ignition switch falls out...
Hey I'm finally home now.
I have a problem, when i go to take my key out after turning off the engine, the whole cylinder for the key will come out with the key. Anyone have this happen or know how to fix. It doesn't look like anything obvious is broken. it just kind of slides out.

There is a small button on the bottom of the cylinder (about 1/8" diameter) that is supposed to lock into a hole in the lock body. If that button is stuck in, perhaps a shot of WD-40 will loosen it up. If it's missing or broken you might end up changing the lock cylinder. If you have to change the cylinder you might want to bring both the new one and the old one to a locksmith and have him re-key the new one to your old keys. That way you won't run into the issues of having to program in new PATS keys.
