When you turn the key it pulls on the rod and pulls the switch. The rod has a 90 degree bend on each end to fit into the key lock and the switch on the other end. Those get bent over time and don't completely pull the switch into position. They can be bent back and the switch will work again. If you can junp start it on the selenoid it's possible the rod can be the cause. [Reply]  [No Email]

I know this for sure as my son has one. The column lock/switch setup started with the 1973 model pickups.   [Reply]  [No Email]
