The lock is accessible by removing the steering wheel and the signal switch underneath. You have to depress the spring loaded catch that is visible from above with the tip of a flat blade screwdriver and it will pop out.

What if you can't turn key to acc position?

On older cars this requires the inserted key to be pressed inwards and turned counter clockwise. Newer cars the ACC (accessory) is usually one click towards the starting mode.If the key won't turn to this position it means that the ignition switch is faulty and might need to be replaced.Many newer cars most things like the radio will work without having the key in the ignition. My '04 Jetta works that way ... the radio will play for one hour without the key and then turn off by itself.


Is there anywhere you can fix an ignition switch without having to take car to locksmith and reprogram ignition before installing new one?

Take it to an independent garage. On some cars it is fairly simple to remove the lock cylinder and replace it (the ignition tumbler & keys for my 1989 cavalier was only $25; unfortunately, it is a long task to get it apart). If it is the ignition swith, same applies, on some cars it is quite simple. I found that the best advice I gto was from an auto wreckers (they know how to dismantle a variety of vehicles)


How do you replace the ignition switch in a 1987 grand marquis with broken tumbles?

found this, might be the same, Merry Christmas, anyways! :) For a 1988 Mercury Marquis remove bottom shroud from steering column (5 Philips head screws). There is a wire running from the ignition switch to the left side of the steering column; detach it from the coupler (This can be done without a tool). Turn key to ON position until the panel lights come on. There is a small pin near the bottom of the key lock; push it in and pull the ignition switch out (don't panic if the wire seems to be stuck; it will come out). To replace, turn new ignition switch to same position. Push pin on the ignition switch in while sliding it back into the steering column. Reconnect wire and then replace shroud.

Why is a 2001 Chrysler sebring key stuck in the ignition?

I don't know if you have that auxiliary position for the key in the ignition. That got me for a while until i figured out you can play the radio without having most of the car systems on. Turn the key forward one click and pull the key out. That seems to work. If you cant turn the key, well, that might be a bigger problem.

1997 Chevy blazer wont start after replacing fuel components tried ignition control module new cap and rotor why?

Ignition switch! Try turning the key to "on" position without starting vehicle. Leave key on for about 10 seconds. Try this twice. I had a 1997 Chevy blazer that was getting no gas or spark. Drove me crazy for three months. pulled fuel pump ,(was working fine). Truck would turn over ,but would not start. It ended up being the ignition switch. My key & tumbler was ok, but the switch in there wasn't. Cost for ignition switch is about 130.00.
