Are you talking about a complete switch or just the ignition cylinder and key? LockDoc

Try wiggling the key as you put it in and make sure it is going in all the way. The tumblers could be hanging up inside the lock cylinder. Does the key go in easily? Will it turn to the accessory position? Whatever you do don't try to force it or you will bend the tumblers inside the lock cylinder. LockDoc
