Remove the dress plate under the steering column. There is a clip there for the shift indicator, if you shift on the column. There are two nuts on studs, one on each side of the column, remove these nuts, and the steering column will drop down. The switch is on top of the column just lower then the fastening bracket. Unplug the wiring, remove the screws that retain the switch, install new one and adjust. Put everything back together.

Can anyone tell me the exact location for the ignition switch in a 1986 park avenue?

The place you stick the ignition key into is really just a lock cylinder with a rod attached to it. The rod runs down the steering column to the real electrical ignition switch, which is located on top of the steering column, often blocked (on purpose) by the brackets for power brake and/or steering column support. If you are sitting normally in the driver's seat, feet on the pedals, the switch is located over your shoe laces. Replacement of the ignition switch often involves lowering or removing the steering column. Remember to unhook the negative battery terminal before starting work. The switch is hard to get to, in order to discourage car thieves.

How does the rad fan on a 1986 Honda Prelude come on?

There is a temperature switch on the passenger side bottom of the radiator that has a wire connector attached to it. The switch screws into the radiator and then the wires connect to that. That switch is what tells the relays to turn the cooling fan on. If your fans don't turn and the engine is running hot you can test the switch using the following steps. 1. turn the ignition to the on position but don't start the engine. 2. disconnect the wire connector to the switch on the bottom of the radiator. 3. using a small jumper wire, jump the two wires inside the connector. If the fans turn on then you will need to replace the temp switch. If the fans still don't turn on then you will need to check the fuses, relays, and the fans themselves.

How do you change an ignition switch on a 1986 ford F150?

The ignition switch is usually mounted to the steering column and is operated by a linkage rod. NOTEOn column-mounted ignition switches, don't confuse the switch with the lock cylinder and keys. The ignition switch is not normally visible. On some vehicles, the steering column support has to be removed and the column lowered to find the ignition switch. On others, the switch is accessible under the dash.The ignition switch is operated by the key switch. Courtesy of Ford Motor Company. To replace the switch: * Remove the ignition switch wiring harness. * Unbolt it from its position. * Bolt the new switch into position. * Attach the witing harness.

You need to remove the dash panel underneath the steering column. You will find the switch attached to the left side of the column with two 5/16" or 8mm screws. If you are sure it is the switch, you can go ahead and buy one so you know what it looks like, and know what to look for under the dash.
