[QUOTE="mjonesjr, post: 76903, member: 1076"] I couldn't find a how-to on replacing the ignition switch in my '97 OBS after the rocker that you turn broke. First, get yourself a new ignition switch from your local parts store. Here is a couple part numbers if you wanted to go that route. Note, the price is from O'Reilly Auto Parts. - Lock Smart w/ 2 Keys P/N: LC61770 ($22.99) (Limited Lifetime Warranty) - Borg Warner w/ 2 Keys P/N: CS448L ($47.99) (Limited Lifetime Warranty) - Motorcraft: 1L3A-11582-AC ($75.99) (1 Year Warranty) [B][U]Tool Needed:[/U][/B] - Long Pointed Punch I went with the Lock Smart for a couple reasons. One, it was in stock. Two, it was the cheapest, yet had the same limited lifetime warranty as the Borg Warner part. The first part of the removal is to turn the key to the RUN position. This allows the pin that keeps the cylinder in place to be pushed up so you can remove the cylinder. The pin can be accessed through the steering column cover. The picture below shows where the pin is accessed. [ATTACH=full]66322[/ATTACH] This shows the pin and where it is without the column cover on. [ATTACH=full]66323[/ATTACH] Once you have the key in the run position, push the pin in. [ATTACH=full]66324[/ATTACH] Pull the key cylinder straight out. Here you can see the old cylinder and the new cylinder. [ATTACH=full]66325[/ATTACH] Turn the new cylinder into the run position and slide it into the hole in the steering column. Cycle the key to the off position, ACC position, and the Run position to verify that it is working properly.
