Went to start the Cruiser when I heard a "snap" and the key now freely rotates in the ignition. It can be removed but the key selector is stuck on position II (so battery is on can't be turned off). Had to disconnect the battery and tow it to the dealer.
Dealer tells me the only fix is a...

The Key has rotated past the "START" (where it would mechanically spring back to "ON" position) and now is blocked.
Currently I can't rotate back the key to the "ACC" position to push the small button to release the cylinder to try and repair it.
Any experience with this issue and...
SoCal
Ignition switch and both front door locks with key.
(No tailgate key). The ignition cylinder is very easily changed, in less than a minute if you have your old ignition key. Door locks are mounted with 1 bolt each. $85 including shipping, add $10 for Alaska and Hawaii Zip Codes.
I am looking at the Electrical wiring diagram EWD339U for my 1998 LX470. Where can I find the Starter wires for the ignition coil? which wires for constant 12v, accessory start, on wire, and crank wire?
SoCal, can ship easily.
Left and Right door lock cylinders, ignition cylinder with matching keys. Tail hatch lock is not included.
$85. Shipping is $15. The ignition cylinder can be swapped into your Cruiser as you have your key for it.
Picked up a beauty 69 Scout 800. Immaculate condition when I got her, body and engine. Turned the ignition one day to take her for a cruise and it rotated enough in the column to rip two wires off. Whoever did the wiring when they put the new engine in didn’t have any thing labeled as to what...
Hey guys, I know there are plenty of threads about this issue, but I am really just trying to source the right part. I have a 1998 LX470.
Ebay sells a ton of them but they all seem to be stamped “7853B.” My understanding is that this part will not work and that it is for the LC with the manual...
After reading a horror story, I am thinking about replacing my Ignition Rod before it breaks. I am not currently having any problems but, my 2001 LX has 122,000 miles.
Do you all think that is a good idea?
If so, what is the best rod that I can buy?
1987 FJ60 Land Cruiser: I'm trying to replace the ignition lock cylinder, and I've removed the old cylinder but now the new one won't go all the way in. Even the old one doesn't go back in so I assume the issue isn't with the cylinder itself but rather something in the column. Key is turned to...
Hey y'all, I could use a little help with the wiring involved with starting my '72. I tried searching but can't seem to really find what I need, so I'll just have to ask. Several weeks back, the original starter crapped out on me. Everywhere I looked seemed to recommend switching in a GR from a...
I pulled off my steering column cover to replace my ignition cylinder and noticed one of the soldered wire had broken loose. Can I solder it back on without buring the plug or am I looking at a replacement?
This thread is a partial continuation of this one: in need of ideas on two problems with the cruiser (thanks to @jerryb for some good suggestions there) but as that one had starting & driving issues, and mine does not, I felt a more accurate title and focused discussion were warranted.
PLUS...
I have looked through the forums and everywhere I can online as this is a common issue but cant seem to find a clear answer to my question....
I have a 97' LX450 and while the ignition works well at the moment, the key sits very loose in the cylinder at all times. I can easily remove the key...
