Just got my Daytona, and I need help!!!

WOW... I cant wait to get home and try that, because I do believe that I alwasy start teh car with the steering wheel up but last nigjt it was down... "thumbs up

I will let you all know.....

Is there anyway of testing to make sure thats it before I replace it??

When I said doenst feel right, I mean it doesnt feel like its turning all the way and also it feels like its dragging.. Like the turning is much harder then usual.

Well it wasnt my steering wheel tilt.. And I know it has to be the ignition.. Because when I turn teh key into any position I get no response.. My guages dont click on nor do I hear my fuel pump coming on..

How hard is this to replace? And what exactly do I need to get?

First-off : There is no such thing as an "ignition module" in a late model Chrysler. The ignition and fuel injection are in 1 box in the engine compartment (the SBEC for your '90). I don't know what the box on the steering column is, but it's not the ignition. It's probably the airbag controller or something.

To me, it sounds like your body computer went south. The BC controls all of the interior functions and controls: dash/guages, door locks, turn signal and door lock switches and the ignition switch. It communicates with the engine controller (the SBEC). Since you had many of those items go bad before the car stopped, it's got to be the BC. The bad tach/speedo, the engine running on after the key is pulled (and now not running at all); are all symptoms of a bad BC. The no-response to the ignition key could also be the ASD (auto-shut-down relay), but the BC turns on the ASD in the first place, and since you had so many problems before, I'd say it's the BC.

The BC on the '90 Daytona is under the passengers front kick panel. It's easy to get at and replace. They've been known to go bad pretty consistently. My '91 had to have it replaced. My door locks would open and close on impulse, and the tach/speedo would stop and start without ryhme or reason. It should cost less than $50 to get a used one, or you can get raped by a Chrysler dealer for $200+.

Where can I get a used one???

And why do you hink thast what it is? I mean my lights, turn singnal. speedo, wipers, fuel guage, pressure guage all work..

you might have a bad ignition switch. also, is there any way you can get a picture of that "box" under your dash, or at least get a part # off of it?

Yeah thats what I think it is because turbning the key doesnt feel right like it used to.. Its kinda drags..

Where can I get one and how much should I expect to pay?

autozone has it for $10 part# LS501 the lock cylinder is $19 part# LC14530.....

Dawm dodge wants 79 just for the tumbler...

LOL

IS that the tumbler and all parts needed??? Also will I need any special tools?? I see there is a erird bolt that looks like a hex with a pin the middle of it.. Where can I get a tool to remove that>

just go to u/pull it and get the whole thing take 20 min. to install and you will have the air bag wheel back on / try to get the right year i,v seen lebarons with wiper on colum, not dash and the wifes 90 daytona fit in to her 92 iroc but 2/or3 things were a little diff. but still worked.

The only thing about pulling the whole unit is:

A) There is an aftermarjet steering wheel on there now. So I cant use an Airbag

b) Will they have they key.

c) there is no way of knowing if what im pulling works.



At least with autozone the parts are new..

Anyoneon know about that screw I mentioned earlier?

Sounds like a tamper-resistant Torx. Any decent tool vendor should have the bit you need.
