if they tried to pull the wheel lock located in the steering colum. they may have damaged the key sensor that read you security codes off the key. which means you`ll need to replace the key sensor in the colum. Unless they pulled a wire off under the steering colum. look down the steering colum and up underneath and see if there are any plugs out. PS some cars are designed of extra accessories which case you may find a few plugs away from the colum that aren`t connected to any thing these won`t be the issue but.
sounds like the awitch is bad ....first check connection in the steering colume....where the switch plugs in ....the turn signal switches themselfs do go bad
ther should be a steering wheel lock in the colum that engages when the vehicle is shut off . if you slid into the ditch and your wheels are turned or ther is a lot of presure on the wheels or colum then the lock wont disengage( the lock is jambed up because of the presure on it) try to remove the presure on the wheels and pull opposite on the steering wheel. if you get rid of enough presure on the lock it should turn again
No, but I have seen a lot of car fires. Take this car back to your dealer, there may be a recall or a Tech service bulletin on it. Dangerous problems are usually covered even out of warranty. Lee
The ignition module is held on to the distributor by two 5.5mm bolts, but there is a tool for getting those bolts out. And you're right they are prone to failure.
The "smoke" sound like an electrical short. It might be part of your problem. Maybe your ignition switch(one on the lower column)? I would check to see if there is fire at the spark plugs too. If your getting fire to the plugs I would spray some starting fluid in it to see if it tries to run. If it does, you have a fuel problem. Which might be related to your electrical problem.
Plastic actuator/rod/steering column repair It cost about 200.00 at the ford dealership,and i got the same problem...i looked under the steering colum and saw the actuator was moving down but not back up so it broke. its plastic so and im not going to chance taking the steering wheel off myself with my tilt steering and airbag. Good luck!
