Thread: Need to replace Ignition Switch

So my heater, DIC, and my head lights are not working properly. They flip on and off with a mind of their own. Ive looked through enough threads to figure out that I need to replace the Ignition Switch but didnt find a DIY thread about it.

Is this an easy process to replace the Ignition Switch? Ive heard of alot of guys doin this so it sounds easy enough. If anyone knows of a good walk through that would be great thanks!

long and skinny is.. Park in a Sears parking lot (for easy access to tools ).

Pull the shroud off the column. Find the wiring for the igntion switch and remove it at the base of the column with a 7mm. Tie fishing line or string onto it. (to pull the new one back through the maze) Look at the worlds smallest torx head bolts and go buy the right size, cause it's friggin small. Pop those two off and one other set of wires, uh soleniod to rellease the key wires..yeah. Pull the connector up through the column and tie the string/line onto the new one. Reverse process to install.

Nope, honestly never done one.

Heh thanks for that walk through man!! Ill post up on the results and let ya know how it goes ill try to take pics too and show future dudes.

why does the lock cylinder come out? I've never seen/heard of that being touched since the switch is a different and seperate piece.

Found the thread and understand why you said pull the tumbler. It's because some guys remove things that don't need to be removed. aka excess work for the same end result. I was able to work around the tumbler w/o needing to pull it out.

Thanks for that man!
