No start after removing ignition switch and lock cylinder.
These vehicles have a built in antitheft system. When switching the ignition you interrupt this system.
You will need to do a system relearn after the new ignition is installed. It will not start until the new ignition is installed and relearned.
Step one. Put key in ignition, turn forward 2 clicks until right before it should start. Keep like that for ten minutes, NO LESS.
Step two. After the ten minutes, turn key back to off position for 5 seconds.
You need to do steps 1 & 2 a total of three times in a row without trying to start the car in between. The whole process should take roughly 30 minutes. After the last time waiting 5 seconds in off position, turn key forward and attempt to start the vehicle. Remember no less than ten minutes when forward, maybe do ten minutes and 15 seconds to be sure, some people even do 11 minutes.
