2016 F150 ignition binds between start and run Sign In

2016 F150 XLT 5.0 Crewcab, At times when starting. The key will bind when returning from start into the run position.It doesn't always return to the run position. The truck starts and runs fine. I can't find much info regarding the diagnosis.
I'm not sure which part is responsible to snap the key back into the run position. Is it the Ignition Starter Switch or some other part under the steering wheel shroud?
Thanks,
John

I seriously doubt it is the switch itself but there is usually a geared track inside the steering column that has to slide back and forth when operating the switch.

This gear is pretty deep in the column mechanism and quite complicated to access. You might want to leave this to the professionals as you can do a lot more damage to fragile parts and dealing with the airbag can be very dangerous.

You can pop the ignition lock out pretty easily to make sure that moves freely.
