What YEAR-MAKE-MODEL of Cadillac.
The rod is alot easier to install than to replace the column. Have done many of these over 25 + years.

Please explain.
Answer -
Is the rod loose at the top by the ignition key or is it loose at the bottom at the ignition electrical switch ?.
Why do you have to replace the ignition key lock ?.
Did the column get damaged or what ?.
AnswerWe are going to have to get our terminology correct. which switch are you referring to every time you say SWITCH.
There is the mechanical switch where the key goes into and the electrical switch that mounts way down on the column where all the wires are.
Are you sure the wire color is WHITE that was cut ?. I looked thru the complete electrical schematic and cannot find a white wire.
