Stop in for a cup of coffee

So I'm on to me next project. Ford F250 and the lock cylinder is loose and can't start the truck because it doesn't go far enough forward on the cylinder rotation.

Thank God for running boards because this truck is huge and I the top of my head is lower than the top of the hood line. Ugh!!

So I climb up and i got the column apart and HA!!

Broken lock actuator. It's pot metal, what the H!!!

If you split the column cover below the wheel, you can activate the ignition/ starter with needlenose pliers. Push the rod forwards and away it goes.
Have done a few.
