Michael,
Remember 2 thinks when looking it up at the parts store...
It's two pieces the Switch and the Lock Cylinder and Keys....
Sometimes inexperienced kids don't know the difference and look up the wrong
part..
or.. if you looking at pics in the back of a book they are not always
right..

When I worked at a parts store when I was a kid I could find anything...
No Joke...
I'd flip through pictures if I had to.. and make countless phone calls...
But I always found it.. 99.9% of the time anyway..
Id through the computer away and ask to look through his books..
Flip between the application listing and the Picture index and I'm sure you
can find what your looking for..

Good luck,
