Stiff ignition (possible actuator?)
Hello all,
I have searched this forum so please forgive me if I missed it somewhere, but I cannot find a post on 1999-2007 (first generation Super Duty) for my issue. I have a 2006 6.0 SD with an extremely stiff ignition. It is very hard to turn to start and does not want to spring back or return and I must manually turn it back to “on” position. I have replaced the ignition cylinder and that was simple but that did nothing for the issue of “stiff or very sticky” actuation of ignition. Electronically all works fine, it is the mechanical process. I lubed what looked like the plastic actuator rod when I replaced the cylinder. I could only see a small portion of the actuator rod with the top and bottom column shrouds removed but did lube that spot. Some help with this, but it still does not function properly. I have also searched the web with no real results for my year/model of truck. Any body out there have experience with this issue for the first generation and how to fix it properly?
Thank you,
Tom
