I am working on a 2002 Chevy 2500 HD. The ignition key is sticking when you turn it, and will remain in the cranking position sometimes. I swapped out the ignition cylinder and key, everything is all good there. I also know that the cylinder and key is not the issue, because when the cylinder is removed, if you take a large flat head screwdriver and turn the "recepticle" (female end) of the ignition cylinder, it still sticks. I tried lowering the igntion switch and even without the switch in place, it still sticks. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking you may have perhaps answered your own question. You said when you take a screwdriver and turn the receptacle, it still sticks. Have you changed the ignition lock cylinder housing? 88965342 is the number.

Thanks for your response. I looked into the housing, and that rectangular piece was included with the housing. Went to a GM dealer near me this morning and picked one up. Got that swapped out, and even after that, the key still sticks. The switch isnt the issue either, I can rotate it freely by hand, and there arent any teeth missing/chipped on the wheel. The only other thing I can think of would be that cable that goes to the shifter. Has anyone else had this issue?
