For $100, and he had it completely repaired in about 4 hours. Put a new key lock mechanism in, lubed everything up, loctite'd all the screws, put my cancelling cam back in, and buttone'd everything up. The only thing I had to do was bolt it to my firewall, slide it into the steering shaft, and bolt it to my dash. I still can't figure out how my blinker switch plug goes though.
The plugs WILL NOT fit together. They're CLOSE, but no cigar. Any ideas?
Also, while I had the column off, I cleaned up a LOT of wiring that was in there..found out, that all those loose and messy wires, were the remnants of a jerryrigged electric brake setup. LoL, I followed the wires from under the carpet (under the dash) all the way back to the back bumper! So, HOPEFULLY, all my electrical gremlins will now be gone for GOOD.
