Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: ignition lock/key stuck, check oil level, key stuck in ignition

Question
Hi Billymac. Tried turning wheel harshly. Key still stuck. Dropped steering column; only electrical on top was terminal with about eight wires/leads soldered to it; no switch. Believe your reference to switch there applied to earlier years Olds. Is there a switch or relay in another location that controls the ignition key interlock on 1992 Olds 88 Royale? Or is it purely mechanical problem, i.e., stuck tumblers in key lock requiring lock replacement? What now coach? Thanks, Terry. -------------------------
