The cylinder that the key go into has started to come completely out of the switch if you pull on the key when it is inserted. The switch works ok, but if you pull on the key (except in the 'off' position) the cylinder comes right out.

How do I fix this or do I need to buy a new switch?

Thanks

Just ordered a new one along with a new headlight switch from Chevy Duty.

P.S. They were $10 dollars cheaper than the other Chevy parts places I checked with for the same headlight switch.

Looking forward to standing on my head working under the dash in the cramped cab with the seat pushing on my back side and the pedals digging into my neck/shoulders... When you finally get into position and start to work you find out you need another tool that is in the shop...

Gotta remember to vacuum the floor first... curse
