Just bought myself a bus so I'm new to how things work. My main problem right now is my ignition when I turn the key it only goes half way then jams so you can't turn over the motor, could this be electrical or am I gonna have to pull apart the column? The steering wheel locks and will unlock when you turn the key 1/4 of a turn.

Thanks for any help,
Brian
