Default 85 300SD Ignition Switch Problem


The key is jammed inside the ignition switch and can't be removed. It can be turned to off and the first position, but the car can't be started using the key.
In this particular model, inorder to restart the engine after it has been shutoff, the key has to be completely removed from the lock.
I am not even sure how this could of happened, I didn't force it or anything. I suspect somone might have tampered with it trying to rip off the car and damaged
the lock pins. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about a solution.
