PT Auto Warehouse ILC-163L - Ignition Lock Cylinder Kit with Keys Review

Works great direct replacement for factory switches at a fraction of the cost. The only problem is that sometimes when I turn off the ignition, the power cuts after removing the key. I need to make sure the switch is in the off position.

Now when I start the car the cylinder extends and the key spins freely, I have to put the key in the steering column to turn the car off. This looks like an old problem that made me want to replace the cylinder in the first place. I was expecting a more durable product.

Before installation, I could not turn and remove the key according to the instructions. I went ahead and installed it anyway. The same after installation. The key would not turn or release to remove. When removing the ignition lock cylinder, I noticed that the metal flange that was supposed to operate the ignition was bent (not round). Poor performance and lack of quality control. Didn't send it back, just threw it in the trash.
