How do you fix the linkage between the key lock cylinder and the ignition switch on a 1995 Mercury Sable - Ford Taurus?
You have to remove the plastic shrouding around the steering column. To do that, you first have to remove the lock cylinder. Look directly under the lock cylinder and you'll see a small hole in the plastic. You insert a small round 1/8" diameter punch into that hole. Then, insert the key and turn the lock cylinder until you feel the punch move up. Then pull the whole lock cylinder out and note the direction and location of the tumblers because it has to go back in the same way.
Then, look under the plastic shrouding and you'll see other holes that have Phillips screws in them. Those have to be removed. Once those are out, the shroud can be separated into 2 or 3 parts. That's when you'll be able to see the linkage from the lock to the ign switch.
Under the dash the linkage is protected by a steel cover. Just remove the small bolts holding the cover in place.

Is the ignition switch or cylinder bad on a 1988 Continental when you need to push the key past the on position to keep the digital dash lights on?
Impossible to say for sure until you look but I'd guess it's the lock cylinder. I am not familiar with your Continental, BUT have worked on Ford products for over fifty years. It is very possible that the problem is simply a misadjustment of the linkage between the lock cylinder and the ignition switch itself. Unsually on Ford products, the ignition switch is NOT located AT the lock cylinder, but instead is mounted on the top side of the steering column below and behind the instrument panel, just above the brake pedal. The linkage between the lock cylinder and the ignition switch is a small diameter metal rod, and the relationship of the two is adjusted by loosening two screws on the ignition switch itself, and moving it closer to, or farther away from, the lock cylinder. I would check and readjust before attempting to replace [expensive] either the ignition switch or the lock cylinder.j3h

If it is, when you buy the rod, you get the gear with it as an assembly.
