I have a broken ignition switch and want to get the ”dashboard” off my Murray Select so I can replace/ jury-rig the ignition. I removed the top bolt and wacher from the top of teh steering wheel (adfter removing the ”sticker” that hid it from sight) and teh wheel still won’t come off.
Experienced gardeners share their insights in answering this question :

Most vehicles will require a new key when replacing an ignition switch, as the old key has worn down and is incompatible with the new set. However, some cars may be able to use an existing key, depending on the condition and make of the key.
