New from Richmond, Virginia.

Hello community, I am from Richmond, Virginia.
I am here to hopefully help you and you help me, I have a 1995 Mazda B2300 Manual Trans and I have a problem like you all were discussing.
Here is what I have found with my Mazda, I lowered the steering wheel down enough without breaking anything. Removing everything in the way.
There is a plastic slide between the Key Switch and the Electrical Switch that is broken and will not allow me to turn off my truck but I can start it up with the key.
My question is where can we find the parts needed to make the repair?
I have been working on vehicles since 1975 and this is the first time I have encountered a problem like this one.
Okay, Community where can we get this part from beside the Junk Yard?

Hello ….
Okay, Community where can we get this part from beside the Junk Yard?

Why not use a salvage part?

Good luck.

Yes, I checked Rock Auto first not finding it there.

I know that this is not what you need but does it look similar to what you need? IGNITION SWITCH KIT - GMC MOTORHOME

I have torn this steering wheel down, and that piece is just fine, the piece I need runs from that part to the electrical switch to start and shut off the engine.

Could you post a picture of the part that you're looking for?
