Do you have to go through the steering column to replace an ignition module?

Are you talking about the electronic ignition module or the ignition switch? The ignition module sits in the engine compartment and is part of the ignition system (coil, spark plugs, etc). The answer is no if this about what you're referring. The answer for the ignition switch will depend on the vehicle you have. Some, like late model Fords, you don't. Push in the retaining pin and the ignition switch comes right out (you still need a key though). Others you need to take off the steering wheel to replace the switch.

How do you replace the ignition switch in a 1987 grand marquis with broken tumbles?
found this, might be the same, Merry Christmas, anyways! :) For a 1988 Mercury Marquis remove bottom shroud from steering column (5 Philips head screws). There is a wire running from the ignition switch to the left side of the steering column; detach it from the coupler (This can be done without a tool). Turn key to ON position until the panel lights come on. There is a small pin near the bottom of the key lock; push it in and pull the ignition switch out (don't panic if the wire seems to be stuck; it will come out). To replace, turn new ignition switch to same position. Push pin on the ignition switch in while sliding it back into the steering column. Reconnect wire and then replace shroud.

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.

The ignition switch is located on the bottom of the steering column on the top of the steering shaft the side closest to the dash board. First you have to disconnect the 4 bolts holding the support plate that holds the steering column. Then pull the steering column down as far as it will go. Then you disconnect the 4 screws holding the ignition switch. Take off the old one and replace it with the new one. The new ignition switch will have grooves in it so that you can adjust it. You want to push it as close to the steering wheel as you can get it then tighten down the screws. reassemble the steering column and the start it and drive away!!
