Referring to the switch that turns the ignition on and off, not the key cylinder that operates the switch mechanism:
1. Remove the kick panel under the dash. Make note of how it comes out so you can put it back in.
2. Remove the trim panel under the steering column. If the car has column shift remove the clip that holds the shift indicator cable in place on the shift barrel, note its position.
3. Remove the four bolts that hold the steering column in place.
4. You can now lower the steering column. The ignition switch is mounted on the steering column.
5. The new switch should come with specific instructions on how to install it, follow those.
6. I would make sure it is working correctly before proceeding. Obviously don't start the engine and put the car in gear with the steering column out of place.
Reverse the above steps to put the steering column back in place. If your car has column shift be careful to put the shift indicator cable back in place. Check to see that the shift indicator is reading correctly.
