The ignition switch is immediately behind and attached to the ignition lock cylinder. The ignition lock cylinder is where you place the key to start your vehicle.

How do you replace an ignition switch in a 1998 Saturn SL2?
Is should not be that difficult. Pickup a service manual, I believe that the Saturn uses GM's Passlock Anti-theft system. If you are having problems with the ignition or the car starting, it is more than likely thie ignition cylinder lock. This is a common problem with GM vehicles. This also should not be all that difficult to replace. There is a bit more to it than replaceing the ignition cylinder lock you will have to reprogram the system to read the new key unless you have the new lock keyed to match the original key.

2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT had can't remove key from ignition and now ignition won't turn on steering locked?
This is a common problem with GM vehicles of this time. More than likely your ignition cylinder lock is bad. The problem being that, technically you need to be able to turn the key to remove the lock from the ignition swithc. Pickup a service manual for $20.00 from the autoparts store, it will explain the removal and installation. Auto Zone, should have the parts in stock, look at the ignition cylinder lock and the switch and see how they go together, it will give you an idea of how to remove the cylinder without damaging the ignition switch, since the normal method wont work here. Here is a way around removing the lock if the key will not turn, I used it on a 99 Grand AM, it may work for the Grand Prix, not sure. If you just drill out the semi-rectangular shaped area behind the retainer pin you can break the lever style spring on the lock cylinder and the retainer pin will come out allowing you to remove the lock cylinder(make sure to leave the area immediately (approximately ¼") behind the retainer pin so you can reinstall the new lock cylinder). Once you are done you will need to reprogram the passlock system. Google for Passlock 2 reprogran, reset, etc. Good Luck!

How do you change speed sensor?
It kind of depends on what type of car/truck you have. Most fwd vehicles have the speed sensor in the transaxle above one of the axles. To change it usually requires removing a bolt and pulling out the sensor. Rwd vehicles either have the sensor in the transmission, transfer case(4x4) or in the rear differential. The replacement procedure is similar.
