Default Broken ignition?

Well my key got stuck in the 'on' position. After a lot of jiggling I got it out but now it wont turn it even to accessory power. I had a new key cut hoping to take the easy route, but same problem still.

My questions are: What part exactly do I need? Where do I get it? & Will my keys still work or will it come with new ones?

Thanks for the help, fellas!

You need a new ignition lock cylinder. Aftermarket units comes with a "dummy" key that has has the new tooth pattern on it.

Then you have to measure the resistance of your old key chip, and buy a new key from the dealer and have it cut to match the new cylinder.
