Those are common fails on our cars now that they're older, I think. Time for replacement.

Get a new one and follow the included instructions - the only thing hard about it is having to work under the dash, so be sure to slide the seat to the rear - might help to remove the steering wheel bezel (three screws from below) too.

AutoZone $14 (for a '90 SC ...later might be different?)

For a 94 and up MN12, there's also the linkage itself .. TCCoA has several threads on repairing / replacing the plastic piece that breaks, causing the ignition switch to no longer be properly linked to the lock cylinder.

Here's one such thread: http://forums.tccoa.com/6-general-tech/143181-ignition-lock-actuator-repair.html
