[s-cars] Ignition Switch

[Robert Myers]

It's perhaps a half hour job, Tony.

1.      pull the IC (Instrument Cluster)
2.      locate the switch electrical portion - it's easy to find straight 
behind and attached to the key portion.
3.      scratch off the red(?) locktite holding the setscrews in 
place.  (Visible from above from the driver's seat.)
4.      loosen the setscrews.  Don't completely remove them.  A small 
straight bit screwdriver is required.
5.      slip the switch back (away from you toward the engine compartment) 
and off the key lock portion.  The fit is a little tight and this will be a 
bit difficult but it is quite doable.
6.      slip the replacement switch in (see above comment)
7.      tighten the setscrews
8.      replace the IC.
9.      have a beer or a cuppa coffee or something to celebrate another job 
well done.  ;-)
