Like the title says, my ignition key won't go into the ignition switch.
I had a problem with the ignition not being able to go into the accessory position and replacing the ignition switch (electrical switch at bottom of column) fixed it. I was really happy with myself until later in the day when I went to drive the truck and the key will no longer go into the ignition tumbler.
I thought that it may have to do with the steering wheel lock so I took the steering wheel off to look at it. The wheel is removed and the turn signal switch is pulled back out of the way and this really was no help at. all. Everything is good except that the key tumbler is messed up.
EDIT:
I should have mentioned that I also removed the electrical switch again to see if the actuator rod was still connected and it appears to be fine. The key switch wiggles when I push and pull on the actuator rod.
So has anone dealt with this in the past? Any ideas on how to get the tumbler removed without putting the key in and turning it to the on position?
Thanks in advance, Mike.
