Help
Well,... just FYI.. here's a status update, people...
I removed the white plastic wheel (A) in the middle.
Then, I removed the big black "controls assembly" (B) on the left side (just for the heck of it).
With the (A) removed, I had access to the two torx screws that hold on the ignition assembly (C).
I removed that... and with that assembly in hand, the key works. It can turn.
I put the ignition assembly (C) back, on, and the spare key works,
but the most-used key (quite worn) works rarely... only after playing with it for a while.
SO,... the problem seems to be solved,
but I didn't find anything that caused the problem in the first place.
That's kinda' frustrating.
Maybe the problem will arise again next week, when I'm on the road somewhere.
Any ideas as to what caused the original problem?
Woops... another problem...
In reassembling, I have a spare part...
I vaguely remember that it was a secondary holding/mounting for a wire/cable?
Anybody know where that little plastic piece (about an inch long) goes?
Again,... thanks.

I can not find where this white plastic Part goes (circled in purple)?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 03 Silverado 1500 step side . My daughter drove it last night and it wouldn't start this morning I went out couple hours ago to see n key wouldn't turn after messing with it n try take the bolts out. I got some PB B on the key and just tried to work it with no results. So I a rubber screwdriver handle and tapped where the key enters a few times then I gave it a few more for good measure put the key in pushed it down and it turned and started.. got lucky I guess. Probably need a new key cut n programmed now..
