Ignition Switch
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
The switch is located inside the channel section of the brake pedal support and is completely inaccessible without first lowering the steering column. The switch is actuated by a rod and rack assembly. A gear on the end of the lock cylinder engages the toothed upper end of the rod.
Lower the steering column, be sure to properly support it.
Put the switch in the OFF, unlocked position. With the cylinder removed, the rod is in the lock position when it is in the next to the uppermost detent. The OFF, unlocked position is two detents from the top.Remove the two switch screws and remove the switch assembly
To install:
Before installing, place the new switch in the OFF, unlocked position and make sure the lock cylinder and actuating rod
are in the OFF, unlocked (third detent from the top) position.
Install the activating rod into the switch, then assemble the switch onto the column. Tighten the mounting screws. Use only the specified screws since over length screws could impair the ability of the steering column to collapse. Reinstall the steering column.

IGNITION KEY WILL NOT RELEASE
It
can be faulty ignition lock cylinder. I suggest to wiggle the steering wheel
a bit and see if the key gets released out. If that is not helping
then first turn steering wheel to right and try removing the key, or next turn
steering wheel to left and see if you can remove the key.
----------
Spray
wd-40 in the ignition key hole and let it remain there for few minutes, after
that once again try to remove the key and see if that helps.
---------
But
if that is not helping then ignition lock cylinder has to be removed out and
key has to be manually removed.
-----------
