1996 Taurus ignition switch problem

I have a 1996 Taurus and the ignition switch actuator rod that activates the ignition switch broke.
It looks like it is broke in the middle and will not activate the switch at all.
How involved is it to fix??
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

SlimJimRD just had this issue with his Taurus in mid-late July. You may want to search the forum for threads by him and see if he's posted a follow-up.
