I have a 95 thunderbird. Starts, but will NOT shut off. The key/lock feels very free/loose when turning to the off postion.I replaced the ignition lock cylinder and it still does not shut off. Something broke in the steering column? Do I have to remove steering wheel? Can I rig up a wire/toggle to shut car off? Please help this broke iowa guy. THANKS SO MUCH

What you need to check is the ignition switch, not the tumbler. It's a plastic part on the other side of the lock, not real expensive!
