Welcome to 2CarPros, It could be in the steering column linkage to the ignition switch. The electrical part is located towards the base of the column. What usually breaks is the metal rack that has teeth. It is connected to the lock cylinder. If this is the problem, it requires disassembly of the column. Special tools are required.
