Left side of steering column is a piece that looks like a hollowed out key across from the key hole....its designed to slide back to crank motor. If it broke, no cranking unless done manually

I don't remember the name of the part, but It is in the steering column housing rebuild kit (I know you can buy it itself also) including a picture for description
