I'm losing it

Maintenance/Repairs

I have a 2000 Honda Civic manual LX. I was told the ignition cylinder was bad. My key kept getting stuck and not coming out. So I replaced the entire unit in hopes that it would fix the issue. It did not. I was then told the problem was electrical, and that the previous owner had messed around with the wiring harness and I have no clue what he has done to it, the clutch start is bypassed, the shifter interlock mechanism is bad (so far what I’m being told is the issue with the key not coming out, but yet finding no solutions to it) I’m just very stuck and lost on what the issue is. Is it the shifter interlock mechanism? Is it the entire harness. Because the ignition switch worked completely fine before installing it into my car, so I’m guessing it has to be the shifter interlock mechanism but I just cannot find anything on how to fix said issue.
