help with ignition issue

I have a 2000 intrigue that the key would intermittently not work. Than last week wouldn't turn at all. I replaced the ignition and the key turned once. It didn't start it just clicked. Than the key wouldn't turn again. I got another ignition and the same thing happened. Is there some security issue I have to reset or something?. Thanks for the help, Rick

It's probably the electrical switch itself of the linkage jamming. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Did you replace the ignition switch or the lock cylinder? Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

That's not what we are asking. Did you change the part with the large electrical plug? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Take it off and see if it works normal off the truck. I can't see anything that could jam the whole setup if both components were replaced. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Any ideas what might be causing this? I replaced the while thing twice and both times it locked up after installing it. The key turned in both new parts before I hooked then up now both are locked even when I disconnect them

Not having the right tumblers would def cause this. Did you code the lock cylinder?

No. Don't even know what that means. Out came south a key that worked before I installed it. How do I get it to work now? Thanks

Is this something I can do myself or will this take a locksmith our dealer?

I haven't pulled up the specs on this particular system but I would be making sure there wasn't a problem with the shifter......When the key is locking,,,,Jiggle the shifter towards park & see if that does anything for you... Like most vehicles if the shifter is anywhere but park, you won't be able to remove the key.....
