Angry HELP! 1997 F150 key switch removal

Hello anybody....

I need help removing the key switch from my 1997 F150. I had just replaced it about two weeks ago and the darn thing is stuck on the off position. I know that the only way I was able to remove the old one was to have the switch on the on position. Since it would turn to the on position, I can't get that button to push in........please help!

All suggestions are much appreciated..

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum

Sometimes you can get lucky and turn the key if you tap on the end of it with a small hammer and then try it.
If that doesn't work you may end up drilling out the lock cylinder and that's not much fun at all
