ignition switch will not go beyond position one, steering wheel will not get out of detent position, and the transmission cannot be removed from park. The ignition keys two will work in the door. I suspect it to be a faulty ignition column lock but may be wrong. How do I remove the ignition column lock if it is defective? Will I have to drill out the two attachment rivets?
