The ignition switch is located about 18 inches above the floor on the steering column and is held on with 2 screws.

I just did one in my 96 this weekend.

Remove the cover below the steering wheel (5.5mm socket)

Pop off the info ring around the iginition keyhole

Remove the collar behind the steering wheel (5.5mm sockets)

The switch sits at the end of the aluminum block your key goes in.

The screws holding the switch to the back of the lock cylinder are 5.5mm

You will need to remove the 2 nipple bolts connecting the cylinder to the steering column, I used a #3 rounded bolt head extractor I got at sears, they have a 5 piece kit that connects to your drill ($19.99)

I got the switch at autozone for $69

Also check the wiring in the harness going to the ignition switch, I had the black wire melted. It was the return for the chime that goes off when key is in the ignition and you open the door, I also had the 30A IGN4 fuse blown.

How do you replace a wiper switch in a 1999 Saturn?

I should ask first why the wiper switch? The switch is part of the Multifunction switch and the steering wheel has to come off to change it>this means airbag work (Module and Sir coil) NOT FOR THE INEXPERIENCED!!


How do you replace the ignition on a 1992 Saturn?

If you mean the ignition system, Thankfully in all of GM's infinite wisdom, even though your car is only a '92, you have a distributorless ignition system. Follow your spark plugs to your coil packs, unbolt the old ones, and bolt on the new ones. If referring to the ignition switch, you need to pull off the center of the steering wheel, remove the steering wheel, take the cover off of the steering column, remove the combination switch, then unbolt the ignition switch and reverse the steps. NOTE IF YOU HAVE AIRBAGS USE CAUTION!! If you can afford it, take it to a dealership, airbags explode and get very hot when they do. So please make sure you follow this procedure: align the steering wheel to the " straight ahead" position, remove the SIR fuse from the fuse block, then the CPA (connection position assurance) device form the driver's side airbag, then the 2 way SIR yellow pigtail at the base of the steering column. Then remove the dash pad by removing the screw covers, then the screws, then lit UP on the rear of the dash pad, then lift up on the outer corners and pull back in it, then remove the insulator pad, then remove the cpa device and then the pigtail connector from the air bag module. Then remove the negative battery cable, and follow the above procedure


How do you remove ignition switch aztek?

I have (2) 2001 Azteks, and have had to do this on both of them. It doesn't have an "SIR Fuse," so I disconnected the battery. I would also recommend buying a genuine AC Delco switch (dealer) and not a remanufactured or "cheap" new one. Made that mistake the first time (cheap new one) and had to replace it shortly after. The "genuine" AC Delco has lasted me 75,000 miles (mine has 203,000 miles on it, the wifes has 154,000 miles). You do get what you pay for in some instances! Turn wheels to straight ahead position, and then make sure ignition is off. Remove negative battery cable. Disable SIR (air bag system) by unhooking the wiring harness to the drivers side (located beneath the dash, you'll have to remove a cover, it should be a yellow connector). The passenger side connector is underneath the seat, same style, same color. IF you have side impact bags, locate those connectors and unhook them also. On the underside of the steering wheel, there is a trim cover. You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a torx bit (can't remember which size) to remove the trimcover. Once you've removed the screws, remove the cover. The Ignition Switch is directly below the ignition lock cylinder. You will need two flatblade screwdrivers. Depress (at the same time) both retaining screws, the switch will be able to be slid down and out. Unhook harness, install switch, and replace trim covers. To arm the SIR system, reconnect harnesses. Reconnect negative battery cable.

Intermittent wipers not working Renault scenic?

I have a scenic 06 plate. My wipers have stopped working about 4 times in the last 6 months, which is not an enjoyable experience when on the motorway in the rain. I have to switch the ignition off and on to get them working again. Just about to book it into the garage (to probably have them tell me they 'can't find anything wrong with them sir'.)


My air bag light came on in my 1997 Achieva and will not go out. I have checked the fuse and it is fine. What can I do?

Take your vehicle to a dealer to have the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system checked out. A self-diagnosis circuit in the SIR module displays a light when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. If the system is operating normally, the light should go out after seven flashes. If the light doesn't come on, or doesn't go off after seven flashes, or it comes on while you are driving the vehicle, there is a malfunction in the SIR system. Have it inspected and repaired as soon as possible. Do not attempt to troubleshoot or service the SIR system yourself. Even a small mistake could cause the SIR system to malfunction when you need it.


How do you remove the dimmer switch on a '91 Buick?

Dimmer switch is in the bottom of the steering column. drop the steering from the inside, may have two plates to protect you from crashes and SIR system wiil have to be disconnected. there will be two 15mm bolts holding the bottom of the support gear, you might want to take off the steering wheel to give yourself more room. Iformation for the SIR the connector is always yellow with a red middle insert pin, remove pin and lift tab to disconnect the SIR CONTROL SWITCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL. Now along the left side of the steering column you follow a toggle rod down about half way to a plastic switch that has a blue and orange wires connceted to it. wires are possible 10 or 12 guage. There will be 2 7 or 8 mm head screws holding the switch. loosen them and take the switch out and replace, do not bend the rod coming down from the turn signal lever. yyou are done. GNX MAN

How do you spell on in French?

The preposition "on" in French is 'sur'. It is pronounced (sir) or (suhr).For a switch that turns "on" and "off" the words would be marche (go) and arrêt (stop).
