this is a very common problem with these pickups and not too hard of a fix either… Be sure to check out Part 2.

I have a question, have a 89 ford f150 van with tilt steering wheel. I
fixed my lower actuator on my tilt column the last couple days and when i
put it all back together I now have an issue where the turn signals stick
that moves up and down is up again the metal house that it comes out of and
It cannot disengage the turn signal when i turn the wheel with me moving it
back into the off position. Also, will blow the fuss when I turn the wheel
too
you rock man….too cold to fix the ignition….but it now starts with the
pliers….Thx…nice redneck fix.
Buddy, you saved my Bronco, and I am forever in your debt!
so what is wrong is the key spins 360 and just keeps spinning?
The dash lights will sometimes come on but when I turn it to start it it
sounds like the solenoid is bad but I know it isn’t
Dome* and then sometimes absolutely nothing happens
When I hit the brakes the dime light goes off but when I turn the ignition
the dash board is dim then I try to start it then everything goes off I
replaced the solenoid and the ground yesterday
I have an 89 also and my problem was a little different the actual ignition
switch on the column had slid down and would not actuate my starter. I went
through a lot before i figured this out. fortunately the part was
relatively inexpensive and only took a few to install. unfortunately i also
need to replace the lock cylinder. what position does the key have to be in
to hit the release on the lock cylinder?
Hey I have a question, I fixed my lower actuator on my tilt column last
week and when i put it all back together I now have an issue where the turn
signals stick that moves up and down is up again the metal house that it
comes out of and It cannot disengage the turn signal when i turn the wheel
with me moving it back into the off position. Mind chiming in on whats
happening because I’m lost on this one and I’m about to drop another column
in this truck and throw the old one off a cliff.
Is the switch that says Fuel, just to the left of steering column, for
switching between fuel tanks? Great work wayne!
@jdeerem yup that it is
Whats the name of the part you replaced?
do you know if this method would work with a 95 cougar?
Hey so I am scrared of setting off the air bag….is it a concern in an
1989 Ford Ranger if I just do what you say to do?
no problem glad i could help
awesome man thank you a ton doin this job tomorrow!
LOL, I hate when I forget my nut. Keep ’em coming!
Dude you saved me from getting my 84 bronco towed thanks much brotha
hi i was wondering if you know what the colors and what wires are the
POWER, STARTER, ACC, and ON on the top of the steering column for this
truck cause i have one to if you can please email me the colors of the
wires and and what wires are what that would be so helpful thanks my email
is whitetigermostoro@gmail.com ps im installing two switches one is for the
power on acc and the other will be for the starter
better hope you have a really good alignment and dont see any curves
Where is this truck now, did you sell it?
Hi could you please tell me how the thing is called that you bought new?
whats with that fuel switch to the left of the steering collum
how much did that piece cost because i just bought a hole steering coloulm
for $50 for that one piece
that’s because old pickups have two fuel tanks, idk why
i have the same problem with my 84 chevy C10
i bet that little section you cut out is to keep it in place when going up
steep hills or when parked on a steep hill
This is amazing….had the same issue on my dad’s 88 F150 XLT Lariat and
before I spent 250 on the whole steering column like the mechanic said I
needed to do I got curious and found the part listed and then found this
video….the part was 20 bucks…INCREDIBLE!!! OH….and my dad has the
exact same seat covers on his truck…hilariious! Thanks for the vid!
Hi gotta say like your how to vids good stuff, anyway question i have sorta
the same problem on my bronco except i can turn it to the on position and
get the radio and accesories woking but no crank for engine, i just use 2
long screwdrivers and cross the solinoid to start. so is this the same
problem you thnk or the cylinder lock itself? so how’s the brown come
coming again, what a piss off eh
usually because they had towing packages
I like your video, but it is how to replace the ignition actuator arm, NOT
the switch. And there is a way to install it correctly without modifying it
or taking apart the whole steering column. It was pretty easy actually!
Thanks for the vid!
have u noticed that everyone on youtube has seat covers in their trucks
like this that r like urs almost
yup that would be pretty typical of this problem, Id say you got the same
thing going on
thanx a million!!!!! i fixed the whole problem thanks to you & your video
for $16. by myself w tools on hand. bad ass!!!!
I have this same truck-2wldr-need to replace signal switch-Thanx for the
info!!!!!!!
Where is this truck now?
