    The ignition cyliner has locked on a 2000 Saturn Wagon. I have read this is
    a common problem. Does anyone know how to replace the lock cylinder.
    Thanks, Paul.

    My '92 locked up a few years ago. I had to have it towed home. My
    Chilton manual walked me through it step by step. I bought a new
    cylinder at Saturn that was keyed to match what I had.

    If I remember correctly, there are 3 screws that need to be drilled out
    to remove the cylinder. I also had to buy some sort of small housing
    they recommended. Not a bad job to do, and not expensive for parts,
    just a pain. Once you get it repaired, be sure to spray some lubricant
    in the cylinder once in a while to prevent this from happening again.

    Good luck, James
