How to change ignition switch?

Hello,
I recently took a trip to NYC, and I lost my ignition key. I just got back from Kragen and I have a replacement key and ignition switch, but no manual. Can't afford the manual and parts. Does anyone now where I can find a manual for a very low price or guide me through the process?

Re: How to change ignition switch?

To change the ignition switch is not a simple process, I had my key break off in the switch. Firstly you need a kit to pull the steering wheel off, after you get that off you need to get a tool to remove the tilt steering control. After that there is a plate (if I remember correctly) you have to take off.

There are lots of hidden screws so be sure to look at all covers and see if they come out, I remember there were a couple of tricky ones in there. You can do it yourself without a manual if you have some time and patience.

Good luck!

It would help to include the year, trim level and engine of your car.
