Need drawing of steering column to replace ignition (key assemb.)

[shawnira]

I posted recently about my ignition on the column breaking. I want to know how to break down the steering column so "I" can replace the part which is where you insert the key and turn to start the car. Any one know where I can get a drawing showing the removal of the required plastic, and the part itself without having to buy a whole manual? It's a 95.

I now know that it's called a "ignition lock". The part costs under $50.00 and I'm told it's not hard to replace.....if you know how. I really need a reference where I can find a drawing showning how to do this. The place I went to to have work done before had a computer program showing this type of info. I'd pay for it if I can beat the labor costs.

Where is this type of information/software?

Thanks any input is greatly appreicaited

Disconnect battery, wait at least 1 minute for airbag system to de-energize, remove trim from column(a few screws underneath), disconnect key warning switch wiring(small),turn tumber to run, insert 1/8" rod into hole on underside, slide tumbler out.

Installation is the reverse of removal, turn tumbler to run, hold the pin in as you push the assembly into the column, making sure it's fully seated.

That is if you can get it to turn to run (I assume you can)

If you cannot turn it to run, send me a PM because the procedure is a bit more involved, requiring more parts. It's something I don't recommend be done by anyone but a professional, or someone VERY mechanically inclined.
