I just pulled into my driveway and my ignition switch is stuck in my 1989 chevy truck the on position, I physically cannot turn the switch off. Can I fix this problem without pulling the steering wheel?

Same thing happened on my 94. Those switches go out after a while. 25 dollars at the store and get the loner tool to push the steering wheel back down. You'll never get it back on right wothout the steering wheel tool. Taking it off is pretty easy.
