Key broke off in ignition!

[GaPchNCrm]

Help! I went to crank my truck and the silver thingy ( great technical term ) popped off and the key broke off in the ignition! I have other keys, but I can't crank it without the silver thingy. What part do I need to buy to hand to BJ so he can fix it? Thanks!

you'll need the "ignition lock cylinder assembly" at almost any auto parts store. not a terribly tough job to do but you will need to pull some plastic covers and possibly the steering wheel.

maybe its differnet on a '93 but on my 89 the lock cylinder pops out if you depress the pin in the little groove under the column, no plastic or sterring wheel removal required! :draw

If the key is broken off inside, can you turn it with a screw driver or other high tech device?
Considering the little silver "thingie" is all ready off. Do you see a small pin hole? If so, turn the key to on, insert a paper clip into the little hole and the cylinder should come out.

Might want to disconnect the batteries first.

This is probably how the part got broke in the first place * if I shove my fix it all tool here and pry just a little - oopsie ;p

Nah seriously it's an easy job - I've done it long long ago on another Ford I used to own. Just like R_J said...

Jonathan- This time I admit to being the one to break it. At least this is cheap and easy to fix. All of the other things that have happened to MY truck were while it was in the "loving care" of my husband, or the huge dent was from another MALE driver. lol I got sick of hearing guys say ( while pointing to that dent) " see what happens when you let a woman drive a truck like that?" grrrrrrrrr

Mel- I hope she hits you again, for me


Travis- 1. no it got broke because the stupid silver thingy was already messed up and it evidently bent the key, then broke finaly when i tried to turn it. and 2. at least I'm getting MY truck fixed and not giving it up for a " horse of a different color" ... oh wait, that would be GOAT of a different color I guess?
