I HAD TROUBLE TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH WITH THE ORIGINAL KEY,WHEN THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AFTER MAYBE 2 YEARS SOMETHING BROKE IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO FLOP AROUND AND A FEW YEARS AFTER THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BROKE OFF OF THE STEERING COLUMN.

FUEL FROM THE FRONT TANK IS OVERFLOWING FUEL INTO THE REAR FUEL TANK AND VICE VERSA. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO REPAIR OR WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE.
