Do you have a key for it?

I'm not sure what you mean when you say it spins. Do you have the bezel unscrewed?

It's screwed in but when you turn the key the entire lock and bezel spins

The bezel is probably cross threaded then. They have a real fine thread on them and are really easy to cross thread. If the bezel is screwed on correctly the switch should be tight in the dash and should not move at all. Try unscrewing the bezel and re-doing it. Hold the switch tight against the back of the dash and make sure the bezel is square with the front of the dash while you are screwing it on. If it is screwed on crooked the lock cylinder will bind up and will not turn. If you can't get it tight you will have to have someone hold the switch under the dash while you remove the lock cylinder.

Read through this thread if you haven't already.
