It sounds like I need a new black plastic piece. Does that have a name? Do some people call the combination of the metal piece and the black plastic piece the ignition switch?
Thanks.

The part with all the wires is the ignition switch. It gets confusing because it is normally called the ignition key, but the ignition switch is electrical and not the same thing. I am not familiar with the Malibu set up, I have yet to get into my 04 Malibu, on my truck there is a rod going from the key assy to the ignition switch. It should have lots of heavy wires, the main feed should be red.
