Great Forum!! I am so glad I found it! Unfortunately my 96 Taurus which has been a great car has a little problem. The actuator rod that goes from the lock cylinder to the ignition switch is not connected. I have the area tore down and can see where the actuator rod meets, but it is not connected. Is there a pin or something missing in there? I have about an inch gap to see in there at the junction of the two pieces. How do I reconnect these two parts? Do I have to remove the two peices and re-insert them? What is the best way to get at them? Do I need new rods?

Sorry for so many questions for my first post, but I promise to hang around and help others in areas that I am familiar with. This is a new one on me. I sure appreciate all the help I can get. I have had a heck of a time trying to find the part(s), diagrams, how-to, ect. on this particular subject. After 2 hrs of searching, I am reaching out to your expertise. THANK YOU!!!!
