So, my old 150 with 270K on it wouldn't turn off this morning. Key switch is really sloppy, no resistance at all when trying to turn it back to shut off vehicle. I thought it was the switch, so went and got one. New switch makes no difference. Only way to turn it off is by stalling it in gear and then removing battery cable as everything stays powered up. Looking online, it appears there is a possibility of the actuator rod being bad? Anyone ever dealt with that? Looks miserable to replace. (Would have to rent steering wheel puller, deal with air bag, etc.) Other possibility is a friend has an identical truck that I could get parts off of, including just swapping out the steering column? Would that be any easier? I am not positive it is the rod, but it appears online that they are plastic and do fail. Anything else that could cause the issue of no resistance on the key switch itself? It turns super easy when starting it and no resistance at all when trying to shut truck off. Thanks in advance!
