'96 tacoma 4cyl. I have this problem..Turned the key to start & only would go to acc., this happened a few times..Then it suddenly would only go in the ignition not even turn? Which it is stuck . Well I took the under dash apart & I could notice that you can't take out the ignition seperatly. The reason is that there is these funky looking bolt heads that holds the steering lock in place on the colum. A very big unit & it is all one piece . That I could not take apart , The bolts look as they are threaded, but they are Cone shaped on the bracket on the colum.
Is there a unknown way of taking these bolts off ? Or if not do I have to go for the very expensive whole steering unit ? For an ignition ?...This is very important to me , If you should have any knowledge on this subject , please share with me.. I will be in debt to you or maybe an answer of thanks to you ...
