ignition switch

Okayyy so my ignition switch in my foxbody 91 disassembled like it seperated from the metal part so i tried to put it back together while car was connected to battery while i was doing that in a moment i heard a pop and white smoke came from under the hood driver side. Inside the car nothing...

Hey there everyone, I've been searching everywhere for an ignition switch for my 74 mustang II. Mustangsunlimited had one listed, but it was very different from the one I actually needed. Has anyone switched there's out? If so, where did you find one?

Hey Guys, Please see pic. What's this severed wire that's butt-connectored to my red/green ignition switch wire?:scratch: Thanks!:flag:
