before I replace the starter, I am going to replace the ignition cylinder. I ran a jumper bypassing the ignition switch and the starter seemed fine. So i am gonna leave it alone for now.
I unscrewed the bezel holding the ignition switch in and pushed it inward to clear it from the dash panel.
The thing went past the dash panel, but there is no way in Hades I can see or access the back of the switch - it's just too cramped. I even removed the fuel/temp gauge to get access but it only let me see the face of the ignition switch (cylinder).
My question is: how do you remove the cylinder from the switch? If I can just replace that, then I don't have to disassemble the entire dash to remove the stupid switch assembly.
There HAS to be a way to remove the cylinder only.
please help - I'm at the end of my rope with these supposedly "simple repairs". I've spent about 2 hours just to get to this point and I can't remove the ignition switch!
