What is wrong withmy 1987 ford thunderbird key cylinder%3F When I crank the car and let the ignition switch go it goes dead and the key must be in the exact right place for the car to run.
When I turn the key to start my 1987 thunderbird and let go of the key after it cranks. If the key is not in an exact position the engine will go dead. Also the instrument panel gauges and lights go off. I was told I need to purchase a new steering column to fix the problem.
