Ignition cylinder won’t turn off (1 Viewer)

[tarpaigh]

I would love some help. I have an ‘04 lx and my ignition cylinder seemed to be going out. The key would stick and occasionally would pull out without the ignition completely off. My son today was unable to get the truck to recognize the key was out. The truck wouldn’t lock as it thought the key was in the ignition. So I replaced the ignition cylinder with a new one and it turns nicely and starts up. I can turn off the engine and pull the key out and about one in ten times it will correctly turn off so we can lock it. It dings and lights are on as if the key is still in the ignition. Anyone have an idea? Thank you for any responses in advance.

Was the replacement ignition cylinder a new or used unit?
