Correct, you're only swapping the switch itself. Everything else remains the same ... no reprogramming / re-keying needed.

Rwobs777! You are my hero!that ignition switch fixed the issue! Great job! Took it all apart, put the new one in and bam! She starts and runs..

I am pretty confident it will fix the issue, when I started the evolution the lights in the dash were pretty dim, after the install, nice and bright! Along with the stroke of the key, she fired up. I cant thank you and everyone else on this great forum for the great advice.

thank you all!

Mike!

Also as a side note, I cleared all the codes, I will see what codes happen over the next week or so if any. Then report.
