replacing a tumbler

**02blackgpgt** · 04-30-2009

ok so from what people have told me on here my tumbler has gone bad. i know its not a big deal but its pissing me off. can anyone help me figure out how to replace it or point me in the right direction. i dont want to just go taking stuff apart and screw something up. also where would be the best place to find one cheap. i have now idea how much they cost. im assuming i could get one from a part out on here or from morad. any other better places to look? thanks.

what is a tumbler?

A Tumbler was a ignition issue in the Grand Am/Cavalier/Sunfire or anything else along THOSE lines...GP's don't have a tumbler...what is actually wrong with your car?

THAT...is a little piece inside of the steering column...if you can't get your key out now stick a flathead screwdriver in the hole underneath your steering wheel and push up...you can slide the key out now...but you have to pull off the cover (should slide off with some fannagelin) and you can undo that white piece...Ignition Lock Cylinder
