I have replaced a lock cylinder on a Camry before and they at least
look the same from the outside. It is a common problem with Toyota's.
It's very easy, almost just pops out. But you shouldn't need to
replace the switch as well unless there are additional problems. Such
as not starting or shuts off if the keys are hit.
