Disconnect the battery. First you need to remove the lock cylinder. To remove it, with the key in the ignition, you will need to insert a pin in the small hole on the lock cylinder to release it, I usually use the end of a paperclip. Once it is released, it should turn counter-clockwise past the accessory position and slide out. You will notice the retaining ring around the switch has three slots cut into it. Use a flat screwdriver and gently tap it to turn the retaining ring counter-clockwise... It's basically a nut. You can pull it out from behind the dash. Unhook the tabs on the plug and unplug it. Plug the new one in, slide it back through the hole, install and tighten the retainer nut. The lock cylinder should just slide right in in the same position it came out. Once it's in, simply turn it to the off position and you are done. Re-connect the battery.
