Trouble turning my truck on AND off
For whatever reason I could not get my truck to shut off the other day. The ignition switch turned normally to the right and left but didn't seem to "click" into any positions. I had to eventually drive it home and switch over to the alternate gas tank (that was empty) to get it to shut off. Without thinking I forgot to disconnect the battery and it died overnight. I took it to get it recharged and ended up having to buy a new battery. So, knowing the battery is brand new, when I pulled the steering wheel and installed the new ignition switch I was surprised to find that the same problem still exists. The car will not turn on or turn into the off position. I had to disconnect the battery and throw my hands in the air. What could be the problem? I would normally assume it's the starter, but it won't shut off either. It seems like the ignition (brand new) is just not turning whatever it is inside the steering column that clicks it into place.
