Different ignition key stuck problem-help
 

I seem to be having a different ignition key stuck issue than what I found on my search here. My ignition key is stuck in the "start" position and I can't turn the truck off. The only way I can turn the truck off is by disconnecting the battery and pulling ignition fuse. If I reconnect the battery the truck immediately tries to start again. The other weird thing is that I can pull the key out while it's still in that "start" position and they truck keeps on running. I checked the wires under the shifter and they all look good. I'm thinking it's a warn/broken ignition cylinder. Anyone have any thoughts or had the same problem?

Thanks,

Dan

Yup, it was the ignition lock cylinder. The metal flange that holds down the tumbler springs had lifted up and was preventing the cylinder from rotating out of the start position.

can you explain how you replaced the lock cylinder? thanks!
