I am at the end of my rope here. Vehicle is a 1987 Bronco II. I have a spare steering wheel with the shaft and all the goodies, but I hope I can avoid going down that road.
Just the other day my key became very difficult to turn and also very difficult to predict the functions. I tried replacing the key cylinder, but that didn't help. I tried replacing the switch, but that didn't help. I tried soaking everything with pb blaster, but that didn't help.
I think I have it narrowed down to the "gearbox" between the key and the switch..
My question: is there an easy way to replace that gearbox or do I have to replace the steering wheel and shaft?
This is my offroad toy, so the easier/cheaper the better!
Thanks in advance.
