Answer

You also need to remove the covering off of the steering column, to gain access to a small hole that you can sticka pick into. So that the key cylinder can be released from its housing. i believe the key must be in Run position before you stick the pick into the hole.

The ignition switch is located on the top side of the steering column. the steering column must be lowered and two 7mm nuts removed to pull it loose.
Be careful with the plug and try not to break the retaining latch. When installing the new switch note that there is an adjustment slot to adjust the actuation rod. Before you put the steering column all back you should check to see if the car will start with the key, be sure and set the emergency brake in case it accidentlly starts out of park.
