    Last week someone attempted to steal my 97 gtp. They cut and ripped the wires out of the ignition switch. Basically I am searching for a replacement switch but the replacement plug (search by vin at GM dealer) has a different number of wires than the one that's in the car (12 wires).

    Anyone ever run into this before on a 97? I had another 97 gtp that I junked last spring and have the column with a different ignition switch (14 wires). The vin on that one later

    I know this is going to sound like a dumb question, but who tries to steal a 1997 Grand Prix?

    I cannot remember if I yanked my steering column out of my 97 and put it in storage or not. If I make it out to my storage unit I can check and see if I have it and check the connectors and wires for ya.

    That would be excellent sir. I have looked at all the of available options on rock auto and none match what I have. Based on the vehicle connector I would say that the plug end isn't modified. I should have a wiring diagram from a buddy at a dealership later today.

    You have a lot of pins there. Very strange.

    that fat plug under the dash needs to be taken apart, the ignition harness is one side, the multi switch is the other side. now you have 1/2 the pins.


    heres a harness how to. https://sparkys-answers.com/2009/09/...-changing.html

    ive changed both them harness's, so ive been in that plug a few times now. just takes a screw driver to pry and pop it free from that black middle part. you'll see its got a grove and or a slot so it only fits one way and on one side, no fuking it up.
