- turn the clamp so the screwdriver adjustment piece blocks the pin from dropping down. This might not be "safe" but until I replace the ignition switch, it resolves the issue.
Welcome to AF.

Thanks for your input which is just one possible temporary solution since it does not really resolve the issue properly. However, please check the date and do not resurrect old threads. Thread closed.
