How do you repair a 93 Lincoln town car that ignition will not sutt off?

Answer 1

If the ignition cylinder is broken; and causing the vehicle not to shut off, that is an easy fix. With the key in the ignition and the cylinder turned to the "run" position. You would need to insert a rather thin tool (such as a Phillips screwdriver, a pick tool, or an Allen key), into the small opening in the bottom of the steering column. Most models have the release pin exposed, if this isn't the case, just remove the bottom portion of the steering column cover (remove tilt adjustment rod, and five screws - there is one near the dash on the left - it goes horizontally). There will be a silver button in the bottom of the cylinder. If you push the button very hard, and pull the cylinder to the right, the entire assembly will come out.

If the vehicle won't shut off with the key removed, it could very likely be the ignition module, which should also be on the steering column. However; I am afraid that despite my experience with town cars, I have not had to replace any.
