I had to replace the ignition switch actuator rack in a tilt telescopic 1975 steering column. Everything looks fine and works great with the column cover off. However when I install the column cover the key ignition cylinder is very tight to remove and insert the key the key will turn fine and crank th e motor, but to remove the key you have to press the key counter clock wise the turn it clock wise for the key to be removed. Is there something I missed during the reassembly? What could be causing this? Please help.
Is your transmission interlock cable hooked up and working properly? And if it's not installed, is that lever on the lower steering column pushed all the way up?
