Iirc, you have to loosen it a lot.

Rod pops out of ignition switch when key turned to accessory.

Help, Please.

Something must be bent? The switch must sit flat and parallel to the column so the rod will stay seated.

I'm guessing the rod. Gotta check the parts truck. Steering column was pretty messed up though.

Just checked. no rod.

Gotta find a new one.

I agree this .

Bend that baby flat, save time and trouble.

Column has to be disassembled to replace.

Don't I know it. It's been apart and together three times already. Need to put a zipper on it.
