hello all, im new here and im hoping i might be able to get some help on an issue im having. when the problem first showed, it was when i would try to start the vehicle by turning the key, i would have to giggle the key while turning it. now even that wont get it to start. before i go ahead and replace the ignition cylinder, i want to make sure im not overlooking something else that could be the culprit instead.
