Hi

I went out to start my car today and the key spins freely in the barrel and nothing happens. the car does not start. There seems to be a weak click between position I and II but nothing between II and III.

I did a search and found some topics on BA having similar issues but in those topics the cars all started, where as mine nothing happens at all. They also had the key springing back to the off position where as min will just sit where ever it is left

Has anyone had this issue before, or know what it is or how to fix it?

cheers

ford only sell as complete columns and they can vary according to vin, we paid $900 for a RTV ute column only last week and just before christmas we paid near enough to $1700 for a territory column

If I was to get a replacement steering column, is it an ok DIY job?

Can I use the barrel from my car and put it on the replacement steering rack to keep using the same key or doe these keys have some type of chip in them that will screw all this up.

As you can probably tell I am pretty confused about this situation.

Thanks for the help.

Ok so if I get a column from a wreckers, I can pull mine out, swap my barrel onto it and put it into the car. This will mean my original keys will work without the need to reprogram anything?

In my town the local mechanics don't seem to like to do anything more than log book servicing, and seeing as the car wont start my options seem limited.

edit: my keys are the flat type that I think are standard of BF models. The car is an 08 BF2 XR6T.
