I appreciate your patience with my idiocy with respect to vocabulary. I'm an HVAC contractor. I googled "cylinder rack" to no avail. Just to be clear, what I'm calling the "ignition switch" is the module below the key on the steering column, has 9 or so spade terminals on it's lower hemisphere, and has a male fitting off the side of it which plugs into the steering column. At this point it receives a small plastic tab (about 3/8'' long and 5/16'' wide) inside the female connection point on the steering column. This is the little critter that has broken off. The rest of this important part is inside the steering column. This plastic tab turns in unison with the key above and spins the ignition switch. Without it communicating with the ignition switch in this matter, the key turns freely. Hope this clears up my initial description. Thanks again in advance...
