Hi everyone, got a problem dealing with a 90 f150 2wd auto transmission non tilt wheel.what happened was you would turn the ign key & truck wouldnt start just nothing a couple days prior key was hard to turn so i changed the lock cylinder no lock same thing,changed the ign switch same thing now when i manually move the rod & push it into the switch more truck starts fine i have adjusted the switch everyway i can & nothing.everything else works when in the run position fuel pump hums lights come on dash just wont start & also the gear selector wont go any further than reverse! any ideas?
thanks in advance

Does it have cruise buttons on the horn pad?

 

yes the buttons are on the wheel

 

the horn pad i meant

 

Then it's a tilt column. Gently rock the wheel up & down while pushing the blinker stalk forward.

The actuators are broken, and they're PITAs to change. Call around to the locksmiths & used car lots for a steering column specialist who'll do the job for ~$100. Or call the junkyards for a whole used column for ~$80, but it might go out soon. Either one will be less hassle than changing the actuators yourself.

your absoulty right it was a PITA! I attemted to put the new acutator in for 2 days & finally i went to the junkyard & got a whole new column took about 40 min to put the new one in! wish i would've done that in the first place!
