Ignition switch doesn't engage S70 1999

As far as I know, the lock assembly is dealer order only. How much time??? And tomorrow is Sunday :(

I, too, am surprised that the screwdriver will not turn the car on. With the lock in place, it should have worked.

Some of the ingenious Brits have taped the key to the bottom of the steering column and replaced the lock from a JY version. But, then you need to find a key from a JY that will turn the lock. I don't think it is a good idea.

Did you take the lock out or just the electrical side? If you took the lock out, did any metal fall out?
