Call Napa
or the like. I’m sure Napa
or someplace similar was where I got a set of the tamper proof Torx bits.

Ingition
Hello
Brad
Thanks for the fast help, as Merial is sitting on the side of the road all
alone. I'm hopping it is just the key switch. did yours go nuts when
it broke. i have never had a car i could not shut off. as in the key would not
turn to the off position. I have the cover off but the screw are Torx
non-tamper. the one with the hole in the end of the bit. were can i get them. I
sure don't have the cash to have her towed to the dealer. if it is just the
switch it looks pretty ez to change.
Alan
