the ign switch or the key & tumbler ???
YES
You can replace the ignition lock cylinder in your 1994 Pontiac Firebird without removing the steering will. Remove the retaining ring at the top of the ignition cylinder. The ignition cylinder will slide out.
On my 2001 Aztek, I could pull the key out when driving. To change the ignition without removing the steering wheel, take the two screws out from underneath the covering behind the wheel. Not the screws on the steering wheel. The cover will lift up but won't come off. Take an Alleen wrench and feel for the hole on top of the ignition (it will be a tight squeeze), and push in. I should also say remove the black or gray cover on the ignition switch (where the key goes in). Once you find the hole and push down on it, the ignition switch will come out.
You will have to remove the steering wheel and everythin that surrounds the steering column in order to get the ignition switch out. I would suggest getting a good repair manual as this is not an easy process to describe without pictures and such.
I have not seen a way to do it without removing the steering wheel (and airbag).
if it's the key in ignition chime just remove the upper and lower steering column covers and unplug the connector that looks like a horseshoe
If the steering column is broken on a 1989 Firebird, it may have to be taken apart to be repaired. If it is only the ignition that the thieves damaged, a new ignition can be installed.
remove pump with line then change and reistall
Yes. Just take the U clamp off the bottom of the steering column and it will drop down so you don't need to take off the steering wheel.
The steering wheel on a 1997 Buick Skylark may be locked due to the ignition system's anti-theft feature, which engages when the key is removed or if the steering wheel is turned without the key in the ignition. This locking mechanism is designed to prevent theft and ensure that the vehicle cannot be steered without the proper key. To unlock it, gently turn the steering wheel left or right while inserting and turning the ignition key. If the issue persists, there may be other underlying mechanical problems that need to be addressed.
To reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on a 2009 Pontiac G6, first ensure all tires are properly inflated to the recommended pressure. Next, turn the ignition key to the "On" position without starting the engine. Press and hold the TPMS reset button, which is typically located beneath the steering column, until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release it. Finally, turn the ignition off and start the vehicle to complete the reset.
"you can't unless you grind off the bolts from the steering column bracket. Most times people just change the whole steering column because its all part of one unit." Actually, you can do it without grinding the bolts - remove the lower trim panel (below the steering wheel) insert your ignition key and turn it to acc on the bottom of the ignition switch, there is a button you have to push in and you can then remove the switch
