Ok problem solved yes I meant evaporator coil deal in the dash.. it turns out the ignition switch and the security ring is the same style and size.. I swapped them around and its fixed.. well kinda.. now its leaking at the o rings popped through the firewall.. new problem ???. Any hints to installing the little metal plate and lubricant for the o rings to prevent leaking?
I'm here 3+ years later to say the ignition switch and security ring connectors being the same size made me panic at home for hours from a no-start situation (immobilizer icon flashing) after replacing my evaporator. I spent a whole day working through troubleshooting steps only to stumble into your post. Not sure if you are still here @Tolman but I made an account just to say THANK YOU for pointing that [now obvious step] out.
P.S. my at home evap replacement took 2 days of daylight to complete on my own. Used a repair manual and took my time. Works fine and no 134A leaking into the cabin.
