Ignition & No Search?
Ok, firstly, is the search function gone?? It was there earlier today, and isn't appearing at all now. 
I went to start the bronco after doing a bunch of different things to it, and it wouldn't do anything. Ended up by having to pull the steering wheel off, taking off the whole collar & finding out that the gear that the key turns (to move the bar to actually move the switch - hope y'all know what I'm talking about) has broken. So basically I ended up by having to drop the steering column to get the little bar out, bending it so that it sticks out of the collar, and then putting everything back together. It's now a push start! lol Push the little bar in far enough, and it starts up! 
Not fun at all. And did I mention that this was after getting the fuel filter replaced, outside of the auto store? Really not fun. What a whacky system - turn the key to turn the gear to move the piece of metal with gears, to move the rod, to move the switch.
