Re: Replacing ignition switch (PedroGringo)

It's very easy, I changed my in 15 minutes.
All you gotta do is take the steering wheel off, unscrew the 3 or 4 screws(can't remember) that hold in the turn signal and MFA stalks, unplug the 4 harness connectors to the stalks. Insert the key and turn key to unlock the bracket. Once you pull off the bracket, you can get to the screw that screws in the ignition switch. It might be hard to pull that bracket off because the lock may not fully disengage. If this happens, just pull the lock cylinder off by turning the key to 'ignition on' position and turning it back and pulling on the key at the same time; this maneuver will pop the lock cylinder out so that you can just stick your finger(or screw driver, can't remember, it's been awhile
) into the cylinder hole to fully disengage the lock by hand. good luck!
remember to reconnect your horn and align your steering wheel when putting it back together.
