Just as I finished up all my little tasks and was about to sit down and work on a review some more, the phone rings. It's my dad.

He's nine miles up this god-forsaken road at a customer's house and the ignition switch on the Bronco turned it's last turn. Bang Head

My mom calls a neighbor and I load the tools into her car then we leave. Twelve miles later we start on the nine mile horror and get to dad, who hops in the car proclaiming that he doesn't want to mess with it in the dark.

Sooooooo, tomorrow we're going to have to get someone to ferry us around or let us borrow their car, get an ignition switch from the junk yard, tear down the steering column (of the donor and the Bronco), install the switch, and hope it works.

On top of that, I have stuff to do for people and a review for BB that I need to be doing tomorrow.... Bang Head

What fun!

We'll see. Dad thinks this one might be the one that you can slide the ignition out after removing a pin or something.

And you can't drive a car with an automatic tranny that's in park and a locked steering wheel...

Replace the ingition with a normal toggle switch. Also put one under the seat and wire it in serrie so both have to be turned on for it to start. no robber will figure that out if you happen to leave your doors unlocked. Laughing

OK, dad just left with a neighbor, seems he doesn't need me. He's getting a new switch since it's cheap enough.

Hopefully he'll drive home in it tonight...

I was picturing an old Bronco, too... With Dud3! and Dud3! senior riding around like Fred and Lamont on Sanford and Son... Laughing
