The Ignition Switch (Points) have gone bad on my 2000 Chevy Express Explorer Van. I'm trying to take the current ignition switch out but encountering problems. I removed the bottom cover, top cover won't come up due to Ignition Key ring "Trim". How do I remove the Key Ring Trim?? The Ignition Switch itself looks like it should come right out. I removed the Torq screw, removed the wire ties, undid the clips on both sides of the Switch Module but it still won't come off. Do I have to remove the Key Lock "Cylinder" first? I've searched the Internet for Hours trying to find info on this but to no avail. I really don't want to give up and use a Crow Bar or Take it to the Dealer, I just know I can conquer this with some help from friends in here.
Thanks ....Rocket
