Look down on the column under the dash. There's a rod that goes into the actual ignition switch from the tumbler that the keys goes into.

Thank Cruiser..upon further inspection i noticed this part was broken i'm guessing this is part of the actuator rod.. or is it something else and how do i remove it and replace it and can i get that part new or do i have to pull it from the junk yard...also this plastic piece fell out from around the turn signal switch area while i was removing that pastic around the column can some tell me where it goes ?

That's called a "rack". Should be readily available. Different between tilt and non-tilt.
