milano67 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Key goes into ignition, turns to acc position or a little bit more. This is not a car in park with steering wheel turned lock issue. It is an issue with the tumblers in the lock not doing what they are supposed to do. In the past a little graphite lock dust, or other lubrication has accomplished the job with a ton of key jiggling. I pulled out the master key, which is rarely used to see if key wear is an issue. The new key has the same problem. Had this issue with a 87 mustang, quick fix. New ignition put in with new key and off I went. I start exploring the 1993 LS400 ignition and it appears to be a single piece with the steering column??? Is there anyway to replace just the ignition switch? thanks for any help. 93 ls400 01 lx470 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milano67 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 posting to my own messge. no idea from anyone? Is there at least a conformation that the steering column has to be replaced if the ignition switch gets fouled up? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzHotLS Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 The ignition switch is on the steering column? Not in my 90 or 95. The part number for the ignition switch on the 90-94 is 84450-50010, about $133 http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/ind...p;siteid=214915 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how to get the ignition cyclinder out of the ignition assembly? There is a hole in the top that looks like you could stick something in it and pry the cylinder out, but knowing lexus there is a secret to it.. Anyone who knows, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
