Many years ago I changed the ignition lock cylinder on my '70 AMX. Recently I've started getting all the minor things working on this car that I never cared about back in the day, one of which is the key-in-ignition/headlights-on warning buzzer. My problem is the warning only buzzes when the headlights are on and the drivers door is open, but not when the key is in the ignition and the door is open. I suspect that whatever aftermarket lock cylinder I put in did not have the correct switch in it to activate the warning. Is the correct ignition lock cylinder for the car available currently? Rockauto has a couple of them, but I don't want to make the same mistake twice if these don't support the key-in-ignition warning. Is there anything else obvious that I should be checking before replacing the lock cylinder?

are you saying that you think you have an incompatible lock cylinder? the contacts I believe are separate of the cylinder, but i am not remembering how the contact set actually triggered off the lock, did you possibly leave the contacts out ?
