Dead End on Ignition Switch Replacement

[Al]

Paul,
I believe you will need to pull the instrument panel. Look in and you will 
see your old switch at the end of the key.  It is held in place by two small 
screws. Mine had some red or pink paint over them. Dig it out and loosen but 
do not remove. This will release the old switch, slide in the new switch, 
tighten the screws, plug in the connector.

Al
