"Verify your auto transmission selector is in PARK. Remove the automatic transmission park/lock cable from ignition switch, by grasping it near the back of the switch and pulling straight out, unsnapping cable from switch. You manual transmission folks don't have to worry about this step. "

Is that just the long black cable that goes into the back of the ignition switch? I just pull on it till it slips out right? I tried, but was scared I might break it, just wanted to make sure im pulling on the right thing before I break something

Thanks.

 

that is the right cable, and yes it sounds like that is what you do according to shoeboxs' site, I'm sure he'll respond shortly

 

Yes, I believe it is. I don't really remember from when I did my ignition switch though.

 

Yeah, you just pull straight out on it. I will probably seem tight, but you won't hurt the old ignition switch. I don't think the cable can be hurt-there is not much to it.

 

Man I dont get it...Im pulling as hard as I can up in there. It moves out about half an inch and clicks, and just stops. Cars in park. Is there something else that may lock it in place?

Im looking at the new one and dont see anything.

 

Is the key in the LOCK position?

 

its amazing how one little detail will stop you

Thanks man, got that part out now....now its time to shimmy the sterring wheel out...

 

Well I got it done..thanks again shoebox.
I never got the steering column out, for some reason it didnt want to come out. So I just did it with it hanging down. Took a bit of effort, but finally got it.
