Yes, I mean that. You have to take out your radio and your speedometer to get to the ignition switch body, which has the cylinder, where you put your key in and a bigger part, where the cables with connectors go in. You have to change that part. The big black part shown here:

I just learned that it's called ICM (ignition control module). Edited OP.

Yes, I live in Austria. Thank you for your kind words about my English. To be honest, English is my third language. My first one is Hungarian and the second one is obviously German. :-)
The Alero was sold in western Europe as Chevrolet Alero, but it wasn't a big success. There were not too many sold in the first place and there are even less on the road now.
Europeans are afraid of american cars, because they think, it's expensive to get replacement parts, which is not true in most cases for the Alero at least.
I love my Alero and it is the only car which I never had problems with. I still pass my mandatory inspection without any problems every year. Sometimes I have to replace some rubber parts or brake pads or such, but nothing extraordinary.

I am fed up with Facebook so I decided to leave. MeWe is the best alternative imho. Minds have a bit more interaction maybe, but it's getting be monetized like Facebook started out back then.
MeWe is completely free except for upload space, if you used up your initial 8GB. Then you can buy extra space. That'S how they stay alive.
