Question: 1997 crown victoria lx can't turn on and can't turn off accessories?

Ok so i put the keys in the car turn the key but seems to me it moves more freely no type of resistense accessories are all on but when i turn the car on it doesn't turn over. Not only that but now i cant turn the accessories off i have to disconnect the battery. when i took out the ignition cylinder i went to auto part store to replace it but it wasn't the problem i took the steering column off to see whats going on. It has something to do with the piece inside this metal part it moves to freely cant turn on car or turn off accessories found a piece of black plastic in the ignition cylinder don't know if it had something to do with it. Cant someone PLEASE give me some help. key won't turn off accessories or turn car over and ignition cylinder turns too freely back and forth no resistense ?

Answer is $275 bucks later the car works again it was a actuator rod in the steering column.
