ignition switch

im new here and feel kinda dumb asking this question because i feel this problem im having should be easy but ive lost my keys to my truck i didnt have a spare made and the local junkyard has a new cylinder with key but i cant seem to get mine off what do i need to do to get these swapped???

You can get a key made from the key number, written down from a door lock cylinder or a fuel flap lock, from a locksmith or a Mazda dealer.

Ya we have 1 local locksmith in town and he wants $90 to cut a new one and I wasn't to pumped to have to pay that much so was hoping to just swap a cylinder out for $25 from the Junkyard?

the ignition cylinder is held in by 2 bolts with round heads, the easiest thing to do is cut slits into them and use a flat head screwdriver

Ok thanks ill give that a shot!

Hey remember these mazda's only have one key for the doors and ignition. So your going to need door locks and the ignition switch to be able to lock your doors. You might be off having the locksmith make you a key.
