So, I recently bought my second ranger, a 1997 4x2 stepside for driving around town and the ignition sometimes gets stuck. The worst it has ever been has been when it took me 5 minutes of jiggling the key and shaking the wheel back and forth to get it to turn. Any ideas why this happens/what I can do about it? Has this happened to anyone else?
Originally I thought it happened only when I turned the wheel before inserting the key, but it seems to happen even when I don't do that. I'd say the ignition is difficult to turn about 5 to 10 % of the time I start the truck. Also, there are no problems with actually starting the truck, just with turning the key.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
