how to fix push button igniton and actuator rod for 89 ford f150? someone southern enginered it it?

When I turn my igniton to start my truck it wont, turn it back about half way real slow, and it will feel like it catches something and everything comes on and i can push my start button but has no spring motion, I could turn one way or hit a bump and it would cause all my accessories to go off. I thought it would be the ignition cyclinder, replaced it and it didnt work and still no spring action. Talked to prof. at autozone, he told me ign. harness, and that it was in the steering column, ehh! Wrong! Took my steering wheel off, and Im not sure that the steering lock is the next to take off or what it is thats keeping me from getting to the area where the actuator rod shaft/stem goes directly into the column itself.(The square hole) Mine broke off in there but at the base where it’s connected to the u shaped piece. Could I drill a hole or screw in it and pull it out and how would I install new one, and where would I put my 2 ign. wires that connect to the button?

The switch itself is located on the lower part of the steering column. Lower the column by removing the two nuts on the steering column bracket. Take the switch off the lower part of the column (2 copper nuts) When the bottom of the rod is free, you should be able to remove it from the lock assembly and slip it out from below. Take the trim collar off (2 phillips head screws underneath and the halves come apart) to allow you to see it.
Once you have gone this far, you only need to take the lower bolt out of the steering column to remove the whole thing. There is a plug for the wiring harness, But I think you can put the rod in without going that far.
After it’s installed, you need to adjust the switch on the column to set the rod to the key switch.
Good luck
I have seen push button starter switches mounted on the column, under the dash with a large hose clamp, if that’s the option to replacing the rod.
