Re: Help me out! urgent !
I have this problem sometimes and its because of my shifter linkage. Press the shifter up farther in park and then try. There is a linkage between the two and with things being old might need to be played with a little. If that doesnt work is the steering wheel locked, you might have to jiggle it back and forth.

You probably need a new ignition lock cylinder. Its pretty common, I've had to put one in a few of my s-series vehicles. Theres a couple tools you'll want to make it easier but the part is only a few dollars at any auto parts store and its usually in stock.

yep. Luckily its cheap though and the first time its hard to do but after doing it once you can do it in 15-20 minutes the next time.need4speed said:It's the original key could the key just not be hitting the tumbler and thats whats wrong i'm going to try spraying wd-40 on it and a new key first if that dont work guess i gotta get a new ignition huh

Its up to you. It didnt work for me cuz one day it got stuck in the run position and i couldnt shut the truck off. Maybe you'll have better luck. A new cylinder comes with a new key. At least for me it did from O'reillys auto parts. So you know whichever one is bad whether it be the key or the cylinder, they both will get replaced so you'll know you fixed it :tup:

I have noticed with my truck that none of the factory original keys work anymore because the teeth are smoothed out and worn down. I made copies for a fresh set and they work like new again

I had one get stuck in the crank position - that really sucked - luckily I was able to run out and wiggle the battery connections loose. Goo dluck with the switch - if you pay attention when you take it apart, it will go together nicely - you will need a steering wheel puller, lock ring remover, a phillips screwdriver, and a torx driver (can't remember what size). pay attention to the little piece that goes into the square hole right next to the lock cylinder and make sure it goes back in, otherwise your horn won't work.

Re: Help me out! urgent !
just did mine was sticking in the run position i didn't use a streeing wheel puller
just braced and pulled up the hard part is the snap ring around the black lock plate
helps alot if there are 2 of you or a couple of "G" clamps to hold the plate down
once the lock barrel was removed you can then see if it's the part left behind or the bit
you pull out, mine was that bit, as it still jammed outside of the houseing i screwed it up
trying to open it up at $20 a go for a new now seems a waist of time get a new
