transponder ring problems

I think there's an issue with it because at times it cranks right up when I turn the key and other times it takes a couple of tries with nothing but a click. Any suggestions are welcome.

For the 8th gen, this is a common problem. It's the ignition switch that needs to be changed. It's not very expensive.

As tamim said it's not the transponder ring. The ignition switch.

The little black plastic one with the 6-pin right?http://m.advanceautoparts.com/img/c/...1_pri_larg.jpg

Yes, here's the OEM one -

Thanks. Gonna pick one up after work. Still working out kinks from previous owner.

Buy Oem. I have an aftermarket one and it's going bad already

Thanks for the heads up. My local dealer has one.

It's most likely cheaper online.

I'll save $10 buying it online but will have to wait until next week to get it. For once the dealer isn't too bad.
