Fuse box diagram for 82 bronco? Need to fix ignition

[Dallas82Bronco]

Just bought an 82 that someone broke off a key in the ignition then tried to rig a push button. Need to start from scratch.

Bet how hard is it to replace steering column in one of these?

Removal and Installation
Steering Column
Removal
1. Apply parking brake and disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Remove bolt and nut attaching intermediate shaft to steering column.
3. Disconnect shift linkage rod(s) from column.
4. Remove screws from underneath steering wheel, then lift horn switch assembly from steering wheel.
5. Disconnect horn switch wires by pulling spade terminal from blade connectors, then squeeze J-clip ground wire terminal and pull it out of hole in steering wheel.
6. Remove horn switch assembly, then the steering wheel retaining nut.
7. Using suitable puller, remove steering wheel from shaft. When servicing a tilt steering column, the steering wheel must be in the full ``UP'' position when removed.
8. Remove steering column floor opening cover plate screws.
9. Remove shroud by loosening ***** at bottom, selecting position ``1'' on manual 3 speeds and automatics and spreading shroud open, and withdrawing out of instrument panel opening while pulling up and away from column.
10. On vehicles with automatic transmission, remove shift lever cable.
11. Remove instrument panel column opening cover.
12. Remove column support bracket to pedal support bracket attaching bolts.
13. Disconnect turn signal/hazard warning and ignition switch wiring harnesses.
14. Remove column from vehicle, then the column support bracket from column.
Installation
1. Attach steering column support bracket, ensuring that turn signal/hazard warning wiring is on outboard side of column, torquing nuts to 13-38 ft. lbs.
2. Hand start floor opening cover plate clamp bolt and press plate until clamp flats abut stops on column outer tube.
3. Load column into vehicle through opening in floor.
4. Connect turn signal/hazard warning and ignition switch wiring harnesses.
5. Raise column to pedal support bracket and hand start two bolts.
6. Fasten floor opening cover plate to floor, torquing screws to 6-10 ft. lbs.
7. Torque two support bracket bolts to 19-27 ft. lbs. and the cover plate clamp bolt to 8-18 ft. lbs.
8. On vehicles with automatic transmission, install and adjust shift lever cable.
9. Install instrument panel steering column opening cover.
10. Mount shroud by selecting position ``1'' on 3 speed manuals and automatics, spreading shroud around steering column and through opening in instrument panel. Post on interior will index shroud when properly positioned.
11. Torque ***** at bottom of shroud to 10-15 inch lbs.
12. Attach shift linkage rod(s) to column.
13. Connect intermediate shaft to steering column, torquing bolts to 45-59 ft. lbs. on 1980-85 models and 35-50 ft. lbs. on 1986-87 models
14. Position steering wheel into place with retaining nut, then torque nut to 30-40 ft. lbs.
15. Connect spade terminal of horn switch wire to blade connector and press J-clip ground terminal fully into threaded hole.
16. Center horn switch on steering wheel and install attaching screws.
17. Connect battery ground cable.

When the steering column is installed in the vehicle it is not susceptible to damage through ordinary use; however, when it is removed, care must be taken during handling. Such actions as a sharp blow on the end of the steering shaft or shift levers, leaning on the column assembly or dropping of the assembly could loosen or shear the plastic shear joints or rivets used to maintain column rigidity. Hammering, jolting or bumping on the steering shaft and gearshift tube must be avoided during all service operations. If the shear pins are broken, the controlled length of the telescoping design will be altered making these components unfit for further service. When removing the steering wheel, only a steering wheel puller designed for this purpose must be used.
It is important that only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used during the assembly procedure and torqued to specifications to insure proper breakaway action of the column under impact. Avoid using excessively long bolts or fasteners as they may prevent a portion of the steering column from collapsing. When replacing fasteners, replace with ones of the same part number or equivalent.

It is not hard to replace the steering column, The hardest part is finding a good one that’s not all worn out. I’ve tried to find a good aftermarket but there is none for the 80s bronco. If you do not have a shift on the column then it probably isn’t that big of an issue to find a good one.

I know how it's done. Just curious for @Dallas82Bronco

With key broke off, can it be turned to run position?
If so, quick release and replacement of lock cylinder from the outside might be possible.

Type in ignition switch replace for 1982-92 Ford truck-youtube and hit enter--and several places show you step buy step--YOUTUBE UNIVERSITY shows you alot

@Dallas82Bronco
This is good advice for that external lock cylinder removal.
