1973-74 "C" & "K" Models

  1. To remove ignition switch, steering column must be lowered; it is not necessary to remove steering wheel. See Steering Column Removal in this section.  If steering column is not removed from vehicle, support column before proceeding. Place ignition switch in "LOCK" position before removing. If lock cylinder has already been removed, pull up on actuating rod of switch until it stops, then push down one detent, which is the "LOCK" position. Remove two screws and switch assembly.
  2. To install, switch and lock cylinder should be in "LOCK" positions. If switch is not in "LOCK" position, insert a screwdriver in locking rod switch slot and move switch to "LOCK" (see illustration). Install activating rod in switch and assembly switch on column, and tighten mounting screws.
    NOTE: Use only specified screws, overlength screws may prevent a portion of column from compressing under impact.

    Install steering column and check system operation.
