Okay what i have done, pulled the steering wheel, removed the cancel camremoved the plastic cover and the turn signal switch. Pulled the pivot pins and removed the bolt in the pinch clamp at the end of the steering shaft. The directions say to just remove the shaft assembly and housing then do some other stuff. My only problem is i cant remove it and therefore cant move on. There are two half inch bolts that connect the steering column to the dash which ive removed they did nothing also removed two bolts close to the fire wall which together the 4 bolts allowed the entire column to drop down to the floor but would not allow to shaft to come out.How do I go about changing the ignition switch on a 1989 Grand Prix with a tilt steering column?
There should be a pin under the cylinder housing (or a screw, not sure) that needs to be removed(or pushed in, not sure) with the key in the %26quot;on%26quot; position. The cylinder will now wiggle its way out.How do I go about changing the ignition switch on a 1989 Grand Prix with a tilt steering column?
Sounds like you have it loose enough if it's down on the floor. I did mine with it resting on the seat giving me about 6 inches to work. Get out the little mag light and your stubby screwdriver and go for it. There might be some goop where it goes through the firewall to seal it. Maybe thats holding it.. Make sure it's not a wiring harness you're yankin on!
