I didn't want to spend $170 for a new ignition housing, and I didn't really want to pull the cap off the housing to mess with the internals to see if I could figure it out. So I wedged a piece of plastic in the lock mechanism to stop it from sliding all the way over. When that would happen, the ignition did not want to turn. This is the lazy, cheap, fix or repair for your busted ignition lock housing or steering wheel lock. I'm not sure if I recommend this, or if you do, at least glue the wedged hunk of junk in there. I personally ground out the steering column to housing lock pin so if this falls out or fails in the future, it should be relatively easy to get the whole housing out in order to replace.
