steering wheel and column

By dawg316
- Wed Jun 15, 2011 7:00 pm #259578 Hi guys back with a new 4 door and it needs a lil bit of work

the car i had was stolen and recoverd but not quite fixed. the sterring wheel lock dosnt work ( so you can move the steering wheel around with no keys in the ignition) and the horn dosnt work either. i was gonna buy a new steering wheel anyways cuz the current one is ripped to shit.

i dont realy care if the steering lock dosnt work, but my problem is the bracket that holds the igniton switch to the colum is also broken. ( currently zip tied together :( ) just wondering if i should try welding the braket or get a new column. also dose anybody have adiagram of how the column gose in. a write up. also dose any body have pics of how the igniton switch mounts, and where i can put the plastic uper and lower cover aaround the steering column and be done with it?

any sugestions, tips and advice would be aprretiated if you where in my situation


-thanks again

- Wed Jan 15, 2014 4:39 pm #341396 there is a little metal...latch, for lack of better word, that when the key is out it locks the wheel to the column, I bought a shell that had this same problem, turns out the ignition was broken, and wouldn't work, most cars have the heads of the bolts/screws ground off so people cant swap out ignition and plug theirs in an steal your car, you might as well buy a new ignition..and then you have to get the old one off, I had to get a tiny hacksaw and force mine off only to find out it was junk :thumbdown:
