Hi,

"What we got here is a failure to communicate..." Strother Martin as the Captain (Cool Hand Luke - 1967)

I think people are talking about two different things. Several are referring to the electrical Ignition Switch (which installs on the rear of the Ignition Lock) while the lister is describing the Ignition Lock (what with the Steering Wheel not locking, and not being able to free the tumbler).

I'm betting that it's both, but it's worth simply trying the electrical switch as it's the easiest and the cheapest to replace. But, something tells me this may not solve the problem(s), in which case, you move to the Ignition Lock. Hope I'm only half right for your sake. Good Luck!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
