If your looking for a cheap alternative to this issue just remove your cylinder lock and wrap the tail end of it a couple of times with electric tape. It removes the excessive wear in casting and cures your no start issue.

Hello Mike, Thank you for the tip on using the air hammer on the security bolt. That looks to be a substantial time saver versus grinding a slot in the top for a screwdriver. Best wishes to you and the family!

Fairly straightforward job. Not nearly as complex as 70s Vette with tilt and telescoping wheel R and R to tighten up the 4 tilt bolts. Thanks Mike. By the way Eric O did one similar not too long ago on a Fomoco. Don't remember if he used Big Nasty on it or not.

Little Nasty makes an appearance! 😁Big Nasty might have broken the column in half. 🤣 It's sad how just barely 12 years after it left the assembly line, the ignition switch is already done for. Sign of the times! I've got a 30 year old Volvo, and a 37 year old Grand Marquis that each have their original switches. Both well over 200k miles. The Marquis is knocking on 300k miles!! And, the Marquis is still on the original driveline, and original in-tank electric fuel pump! I often wonder how mechanics made a living in those days! 😉 Great stuff as always, Mike. 👍👍

Two tipps for removing the steering wheel. 1) Mark the steering wheel in relation to the shaft, so you set it back on correctly. 2) If the steering wheel does not want to come off, screw the bolt back in a few turns (after you made your alignment marks) so you dont hit your face with the steering wheel once it actually comes off. Similar on how you would remove a stuck wheel, essentially.

@@GoTechTraining Sup, Mike. Thanks! Na, not yet. I'm just a DIYer and haven't removed the steering wheel myself yet. Even though I actually had the same problem on my Audi A3 quite some time ago. I should have done it myself, because the Audi technician (yes, I was crazy enough to actually let a dealer work on that) did NOT set it back on straight. Hence tip number 1. The tip about leaving the bolt in a few turns I got from either Eric O. or ChrisFix (or both).

Yep, I was told both of these tips years ago, and I've always done both when I've needed to remove a s.wheel. I was yelling at the screen...'make an alignment mark' and 'put the bolt back in a few threads'..lol🤣

Seems Ford have always had dicky ignition switches once they age. I have fixed a few Ford Falcon ignition switches here in Australia over the years without replacing them. It was common for older models that have a Bakelite style switch plate to play up. Most often I've found the switch plate would work itself loose where it was originally crimped into the aluminium lock housing. As long as the switch plate, detent balls and springs hadn't launched themselves out and vanished altogether, it was a simple job of pushing the switch plate back into place and re-staking the aluminium housing for an 'Ivan like' (PHAD) N.P.R repair👍🇦🇺

All the simptons show a faulty electrical swith, but the internal plastic gets broken i wish you showed by removing the electrical part. Thanks

I always advise customers to remove all unnecessary keys from their car key ring. The extra weight of all those keys plays a negative roll on the wear and tear of the internals of the ignition system.

No engine light, rough idle(only cold), goes away after 15-20min, at cold starts it smells fuel from exhaust(lacks power), it can not complete driving cycles and doesn´t pass emissions tests. And when cold on an on ramp to a highway at constant throttle(75%) it hesitate and drop power and gains it and drops it and gains it and drops it(jerks) Renault Clio tce 90 2018. Any idea?
