Welcome! Good to hear that problem solved.

You may want to hold ordering the cylinder for a while.

When I replaced my ignition switch last time same thing happened. The new switch has more spring power plus I need to push the key stronger into KP III. I took out the switch again to investigate this. Yes without the switch the ignition key able to twist freely to and fro within the lock with almost no resistance at all.

I put some drops of Marvel oil into my lock cylinder and it became smoother. But I still need stronger effort to push the key into KP III (this compared to when the old switch was there) . Finally I take this as a normal thing.

The proper lock lubricant is graphite based but Marvel seems to work for me. You could search the forum for "lock lubricant". Our board members have better suggestions.

Regards,
Amarin.
