Hello all,

Our ignition switch lock cylinder failed. The key will not go in the cylinder all the way. The ignition switch cannot be turned without the key in the cylinder all the way.

The shop manual says to remove the steering wheel etc, put the key in, turn the switch to the RUN postion, push a tab down and withdraw the lock.

We can't turn the lock to the Run position. Anyone have experience with getting the lock out without a key in the cylinder?

(This was really an opportune failure as we were all packed and ready to go out the driveway on a trip. Failure occured in the driveway.)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Don & Susan Jeffers
78 Eleganza II
