Actually there are 2 parts to that key switch. You need the electrical part. It's the part that does NOT come with a new key.
To replace it you need a steering wheel puller.
and a steering wheel lock plate removal tool.
ok as long as you can turn the key switch it turns back....and you can turn it to accessory ( past the point to take it out )
then the key switch is doing its job and so is the rack ( the "guts" of the column)
next would be to make sure the ignition switch on the column is in the right position and not loose
you will notice 2 5/16 bolts ( i think its that size) loosen and move the switch towards the steering wheel then tighten and test
no good then replace once you see it you will know how easy it will be for you
So its turning over with no sparks, i know this sounds too easy, but you could have possibly blew a fuse, Idk if your starter got stuck or whatever but you could have also blown a fuse while trying to crank your engine before you replaced your coil. Otherwise i would try getting a new ignition module, sounds like your igniton is the problem here form other posts, i would defiantly give these two a go ahead and try them out, for fuses just test the with the tester screwdriver thing that lights up when there is current. And as for the ignition module, im pretty sure its not too pricey, i know i had to replace a brand new one i just got form trying to crank my engine too much.
