Airbag car, not sure if it's any different, but does anyone know how the internals of the ignition housing get installed? Is there a supposed to a spring in there? I don't know how, but this "cam" and white bushing/washer popped out while I was reinstalling it on my column and I have no idea how it goes back together. Through trial and error I thought I had it back together but the steering wheel lock didn't pop back up when I took the key out, which leads me to believe there should be a spring in there somewhere?
