You replaced the ignition switch or the lock cylinder? They are two distinctly different things. If the key goes in, but won’t turn, it’s probably the lock cylinder. The tumblers can wear out over time and the grit jambs up the cylinder.
If the ignition wont lock in place,just redo it but this time you need to realize that you install the key cylinder with the key in the ON postion,straight into the lock cylinder housing,aligning the retaining tabs,on the key cylinder with the hole in the lock cylinder housing.Then turn the key to the off position,
Not sure what the problem here is. The codes are for the security system - - the key is not sending a signal or the right signal for the car to start. Could be a problem with the lock cylinder which may have a sensor for the key inside it.
First check your fuel pressure it should be 41-47 psi with key on and engine off if its below 32 psi replace the fuel pump and filter.If fuel pump checks out to be good then take ignition switch out and check for burned ignition switch wires and worn ignition key tumblers and ignition lock cylinder.These cars are known for faulty ignition switches and ignition lock cylinders.Ignition switch gets to hot then it won't start until it cools off.
This happened to to me with my ranger. I went and bought in ignition and a junk yard and no problems after that. That way your not out of a lot of money.
Sounds like the ignition switch has gone kaput. The ignition switch come in two pieces, an electrical switch and a mechanical switch.
The switch electrical portion can be replaced separatly from the mechanical portion (tumbler that the key engages). It is not a real difficult repair but requires some mechanical knowlege of how the column is assembled.
This can be verified with electrical test equipment prior to buying a new electrical switch.
