Vehicles with the ignition switch on the column, you must first pull the steering wheel off, move the turn signal mechanism out of the way and then you can get to the clip or pin holding the ignition switch in place. / before you replace it make sure it is not just the tension of the steering against the lock that keeps it from turning move the wheell back and forth briskly while applying turning motion to key
