Inside the GM tilt steering column (Page 8/15)

The metal part gets bent over time then starts hanging it all up.

Thanks a lot for this thread. I got so disgusted with floppy steering wheels (2 different steering columns) that I got rid of the tilt altogether. I've still got the columns though and will try to rebuild them.

you might consider sending them away to jazzman to rebuild if he still does them, it might be worth it

So you think a Ignition Switch is bad?

Maybe and Maybe Not.

Check very carefully the linkage. Linkage can die as well because bad switch overloads it. If link is anything but straight then is bad. Do Not try to fix it. Replacement is only option. Check gear teeth to.



Bend then straighten make it weak.



NAPA or Dorman's HELP! at most auto part store.

Always replace ignition switch when you replace linkage! You do not want to replace the linkage twice.

The chime switch had me thinking.... I have just had a problem appear where my Chime will not turn off, even while I'm driving??? I pulled it out for now, but I have changed the door switches and the one under the hood, I don't have anything at the rear. The lights all go out but the chime sings away, any ideas?
