Electrical Car wont stay on

[Reyyyyab]

My 89 cranks up but as soon as i let go of the seitch it cuts off. If i continue to hold the switch it stays on but when i let it go it cuts off. I bought a new ignition lock cylinder but its still doing the same thing. What can i do to fix this?

Well im not sure.its called ignition switch cylinder. When i turned it to accessory power also, my stereo doesn’t turn on until i fully turn the car on. Thats why i bought a new switch. & apparently it wasn’t it because its still doing the same thing

Sounds like the column switch. Did you need to get a special star screw bit to get it off..Somebody help him out with a picture. I don't know how.
