The vehicle will no longer shut off with the key turned into the off position. I believe it to be a faulty ignition cylinder. Cannot purchase a new one in Canada. Need wiring diagram to remote add new cylinder to start/stop vehicle.

Yes, the red wire connects to battery, the yellow wire connects to ST, the blk/wht wire to ACC and the dk blu and blk/org wire goes to the IG terminal. Please disconnect the battery before doing the work. When reconnecting the battery checks for sparks because if there are sparks, we have something connected wrong. Let me know how it goes.

Yep, there are five wires which two of them will go to the same lug. I can't tell if the wiring colors match the wiring diagrams, I gave you so we will need to cut the wires out of the connector and test which ones are hot.

This guide will help:

Once you find which one(s) are hot use a small jumper wire to connected to each remaining wire in the loom to see what they do. Let me know please.
