Depends on the year, if it is a newer truck than the theft system will have to be relearned. turn the key on and let it sit for 10 minutes. on some vehicles this works, otherwise you need to have it done at a gm dealer.

First you need to take off your horn cap. Then take a 13/16 socket to loosen the steering wheel. Take a steering wheel puller to get the wheel off. After that you need to get a lock plate compressor to push the plate down to remove the snap ring. (There is a tool for this but it can be taken off by a flat head screwdriver. Now you need to undo the screws in the turn signal switch and unscrew the hazard light button on the outside of the column. After you take out the turn signal switch there will be a screw right under the slot for the ignition switch on the inside. You need to unscrew this. Now you have to have your key in the ignition to remove the ignition switch. Turn your ignition switch either all the way forward or back to remove the ignition switch

How do you remove the ignition switch in a 1990 Pontiac Grand Am?

The knob you pull out is attached to the switch. To get the switch out, you will have to remove the panel underneath the dash, and some of the HVAC ductwork that runs underneath. Disconnect the battery. On the back of the switch, under the dash, there will be a little button you will have to push in to get the switch's shaft & knob to release from the switch. After that is done, you will be able to pull off the trim going around the face of the dash. It should just snap on. Then there will be a nut holding the switch to the dash. Remove the nut, the switch will come out the back, and then you can unplug it. Replace in reverse of these directions, only leave the swith shaft/knob for last. It will just push back into the new switch.
