I have a 94 Silverado that won't turn all the way to the start position. It has been jamming up occasionally for a couple of months. I just tapped it a few times to free it. Now, that doesn't work. My question, do I have to remove the steering wheel to replace the key switch part?

Are there any easier options?

Thanks!!

In most of the latter GMT 400 platform (General Motors Truck 88-98) yes, the wheel and clock springs had to be removed to access the screws that hold the ignition and ignition lock cylinder in place. They are torx screws too. and no, I am unaware of any easier way to swap out the lock cylinder.

 

I appreciate the response. If I chose to put a starter switch on the dash and just use the key in the run position, do you know which wires under the dash that I would use? Thanks. I don't have a lot of cash for both a switch and the tools to pull the wheel. Thanks again.
