March 5, 200620 yr possible quick fix... You should be able to unscrew the plastic peice around the steering colum; half a dozen screws from the bottom side. I think you'll be able to take the actual ignition switch off the key cylinder then. That will let you start the car/turn it off until you can get the cylinder to a locksmith.
March 5, 200620 yr Author it got stuck the other day and a little lube and it turned back. I think its quite stuck now though. i didnt really wanna do that but i guess thats a good solution an better than disconnecting my battery.
March 6, 200620 yr You have to take the bottom of the steeing column cover off. The ignition switch is actually on the opposite side from where the key goes in. Once you see how it's put together its pretty obvious which screws to take out. You also havce to make sure that your steering colum lock (if so equiped) will not engage. The wires on the ignition switch are long enough so that you can swing it over to the other side. Then use the slot in the switch to start the car with a medeum scredriver while you get the lock assembly rebuilt. When starting, don't move the screwdriver all the way or the satrter will cut out. It's like all the way minus a CH. I've been starting mine for about a year like this. BTW no worries about getting shocked. I see no switch
March 6, 200620 yr Author Ya i saw the switch, brain fart. How much does a new ignition cost against just having it redone?
