Review on ACDelco D1493F Original Equipment Ignition by Craig Shah

Despite recent reviews that they got new keys and not new mugs to recode, I've decided to just reuse the old mugs when needed. The instruction videos I watched were for cylinders with large toggle switches and springs, so I was a little intimidated to see how tiny mine were. I fixed the electronics a bit and have pretty good dexterity and patience so I went ahead undaunted. A couple of toggle switches were quite difficult to get out of the slots in the cylinder, but I ended up pulling them all out with a variety of electronic repair tweezers and a toothpick I had on hand. I only had to reuse 2 old mug numbers. The metal cover that holds everything together inside the lock is carefully and deftly removed without damaging it or bending the springs. And it takes a steady hand to align all the springs when folding the lid back. But I got it. This video. [.] shows the procedure for changing the key for this cylinder type. After assembly, the key turned. Success! Unfortunately, as soon as I put the cylinder back in the car, completed the relearn procedure, and started it, the horrible safety light stayed on. :-( My car still starts, but I suppose next time I'll have to change the ignition switch.
