Hi Team
My 1998 Prado ignition switch has developed an annoying problem.
The key will easily go into the ignition but the key will not turn. I have 2 keys and both present the same problem. To start the car I must continually withdraw and replace the key until it turns / starts. Sometimes this is twice sometimes ten times.
I am thinking the ignition barrel is worn, lubricating it has not helped.
Is it possible to swap the barrel out of the passengers door lock with the ignition barrel as this should be in as new condition.
Any thoughts /ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and thanks in advance Ian
