All Trucks, Campers, Trailers, RV's and Motor Homes - ign switch bypassing

my old 85 f250 beatup roofing truck had the switch die..took it to autosone , they said something in the column is meesed up not the switch..so I have to get this running asap..is there just a way to bypass the switch all together by using a 3 way toggle switch and running a few wires to places?..I dont know where to tun the wires from the toggle switch..any ideas?:wall:

when you turn the key to "run" do the dash lights come on?

nothing happens when switch comes on it spins freely from "off" to "start"..just like it has been gutted..

I have a hunch sound like the excat same sisuation what i have many years ago.,,,

If your truck do have tilt steering wheel option there if so then you have a broken half horsecoller pin that why it won't slide at all.

The only way you can get in there is take the steering wheel off [ you will need steering wheel remover ] and ask one of the auto repair or ask the auto part store to ask for specal pin remover at the pivot point [ you will need this anyway otherwise ya will never get this thing out.]

and go to the Ford dealership and get that part [ it should be a stock item.,, i am sure they went thru a bit of that as well ]

once you have the nessecary parts before you start this PLEASE unhook the battery[s] before you do this otherwise it will start on ya.

for the rest of prodcures i will defered to the service manual for how to take the rest and hook it up [ it kinda hard to expain everything on the forum ] expect take about min of half day to do this.

for automatic transmission verison will have few extra step in there as well.

Merci,Marc
