The ignition switch is located on the steering column about 18 inches up from the floor on the steering column. Simply remove the 2 screws and when you put the new one on you may have to adjust the switch back and forth until it starts and runs when it is supposed to.
thank you for the answer to my question but i believe it to be wrong. i have done this job before & remember having to take the steering wheel off but cannot recall what i did after that.i do believe gmc had two different models in 88 so that could explain the first answer i got.thank you
