1A Auto shows you how to repair, install, fix, change or replace a broken, damaged, worn or faulty ignition lock key cylinder. This video is applicable to 2001-2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser models.
I replaced the ignition cyclinder (which was a cinch thanks to the video!) but then the little red light on the dash would flash, the car started and died and then wouldn't start at all (lights, radio all work but wouldn't turn over and lights didn't dim when key cranked) I put the old cylinder back in and it started right up. Tried again and same thing, any ideas? Thanks!

@latissimus123 You may want to double check your connections. It should install back into place just like the stock one does.

On my PT cruiser, the steering wheel turns freely but the key will not budge. Is this tumbler related and can i change it out without the key turned to the run position?

@1234ihatethisplace You will need the key code from Chrysler. You can then get the order of the tumblers.
