So I went to start my truck this morning and instead of turning the engine over, the ignition cylinder kept spinning. I went and bought a new ignition cylinder and it is still spinning. The engine will turn over but I can't shut it off, I can turn my key back and pull it out but the engine remains running. I shut the engine off by pulling out a fuse to kill it. The vehicle is still on since my radio and windows and everything still work? PLEASE help. I have been tearing it apart trying to figure it out for about 4 hours now.

The same thing just happened with my 1991 Ford F-150 and I was wondering what you did to fix the problem?

 

For me it was the ignition actuator. A little plastic rod with that pushes and shuts off the ignition plate.

For me I had to kind of shave off a little bit of it to be able to fit it in the compartment it sits in. I've attached a step by step instructions too

 

Nice job getting it fixed..............
