QuestionI have a 96 Ford Taurus the inanition switch will not return to the off spot to turn off the car. I have to push the pin back by hand that is under the dash. How do I fix this problem?
AnswerHi Tommy:
Sorry About your car. It sounds like the ignition rack actuator has broken. This is a very common problem with your vehicle design.
We have recently uploaded pages and a description of how to rebuild the upper portion of a Ford steering column. They are broken down into step by step detailed instructions on our website. Although the example is for a 2000 Mustang, the column is identical to yours (tilt and non tilt use the same housing)

I hope these instructions help you. If not, please contact me again for more information.
Lastly, if you need parts to repair this column simply follow the links to the Ford Parts pages to purchase any of the parts you need. We do provide a rack gear (Rack05)on this page.
