Buy a scrap steering column
Is that really the only solution
well,unless you want to tear the whole column down to fix something that shouldnt break,and then find the reason why it broke,then 50 bucks at a scrapyard and switching the key tumbler,or junking the car,you choose
I had the column dropped changing the headlight dimmer switch right before it broke. It was most likely human error
all you have to do to fix the dimmer is to take the air bag off and access the screw through a hole on the steering wheel,it really will be cheaper to buy a used column and get the parts you need
No the dimmer is on the side of the column under the dash. Somehow the part that broke got in a bind from dropping the column. I found the part I need, it's 140 and gonna be a pain to change. Would have to take the tilt completely apart. Just pulling the rod to start it until I get tired of it lol

SOURCE: pass key stays on1995 buick roadmaster car want crank
Short circuit probably not the problem. The pass key system is not being disabled making the car inoperable, thats why it will not crank. Either you are using a key that does not have the correct resistance(black chip in key) or if it is the same key you always used then the pass key sensor went bad. I believe it is in the steering column and a qualified mechanic could help you there.

What you need to do is this:
Remove Steering wheel
Remove big connector under dash, it has a 8mm bolt that is holding it in, this will loosen up the wires in the steering column
Pull out clock spring and let it hang
Get lock plate compressor and remove lock plate, the snap ring is kinda hard to get off
Remove plates and spring behind lock plate
Put turn signal switch to the turn right position
remove three screws holding in turn signal cam
remove key warning buzzer, needle nose pliers and it just pulls out, be gentle
remove screw with a torx head that holds the ignition tumbler in place
remove tumbler
I hope this helps, it took me a while to figure this out

Put a battery charger on it. Now turn the key on, the security light should be blinking. Leave the key on for 11 minutes. The security light should go off. Now try to start the car. This should reprogram you security system.
