Ignition Switches: Servicing: Notes
Steering column must be lowered or removed for access to ignition switch on some vehicles. Steering wheel, directional signal and other components must be removed to gain access to lock cylinder retaining tab for lock cylinder removal.
CAUTION:
Steering columns are collapsible; special care must be taken to avoid bumping, jolting or hammering on steering shaft and gearshift tube. See Steering Wheel, Horn Button, Turn Signal Switch and Steering Columns in STEERING Section.
CAUTION:
Some General Motors vehicles are equipped with Air Cushion Restraint Systems. If so equipped, disconnect battery ground cable and tape end before servicing steering column components. This must be done to prevent accidental release of A.C.R.S.
