I would really appreciate if could email me a breakdown of the steering column. If u cannot send a detailed picture then could u tell me the part name that connects to the ignition cylinder, it looks like a long rod that has a spring on it that when u put the key in and turn the key it hits the ignition switch then springs back out.

  It sounds like you are describing the shift interlock cable that the PT Cruiser use. If you call your local Chrysler dealer parts department they can usually fax you the "parts slide page". Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info .There is a company that independent auto repair shops "buy" their information from that offer a very reasonable service to do it yourselvers. You get a one year subscription to year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... great quality information same as the professionals have ,much better than generic workshop manuals from parts stores, much cheaper than the factory manual. http://bit.ly/alldata_repair_manuals or try http://bit.ly/mitchell_repair_manuals_online and get an online repair manual subscription.
