Review on ACDelco 21114561 Original Equipment Ignition by Darian Massey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

and I found it fairly easy to replace

This is a suitable replacement for the lock cylinder and I found it fairly easy to replace, took maybe 15 minutes. However, the instructions are not entirely clear on some things. For example, if you're inserting a cup into the core, you'll need something like pliers to push the cup all the way in. Before doing this, make sure you have the correct toggle switch as you will most likely not be able to take it out anymore. without damaging anything. Using tape as instructed should not be necessary as the lenses really shouldn't fall out once fitted correctly. Lubrication is included in the kit, and while the instructions don't say how to lubricate, it is if you're unsure. You need lube on the springs, toggle switches, core, pin, body and that little thing at the top of the core that slides back and forth and won't block the keyhole. Also, be generous with lube, honestly there's no reason not to.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
