5 minute start if your toyota/lexus ignition switch breaks landcruiser lx470

[Drogon]

Hello everyone, my switch broke tonight and I had the vehicle towed to the Toyota dealer. Does anyone know if this part is the same for the lx and lc? My vehicle is a 2000 lx.

45280-60510 is this the correct part # for the broken ignition switch?

Found this YouTube walkthrough first and his instructions and visuals helped me out a lot. Enough to be ready for my new part. But for anyone after me who needs to replace their barrel rod, you found the right spot. After reading the instructions above (very solid and to the point) and watching this video below you should be able to do the job blindfolded.

Hopefully your break is able to accept the socket. I wish mine broke off in the same way as the OP's did so I could have driven to work today. Replacement part is coming tonight. I tried to start the truck with a screwdriver (one time) for the vengence of it all, but clearly the Cruiser will not turn over or unlock its steering column. Best of luck. It's a simple replacement, just buy the part ASAP. You won't be able to find it locally.

Does anyone have a part # and place to get just the shaft?
Don't need another one but somebody will.

I got mine on eBay for like 40 bucks. I had to sand the casting marks a little to get it slide into the switch clean but I works. I wish I would have built it up with quicksteel before reinstalling it. After it breaks you feel like every start is a roll of the dice. I want a push button conversion
