not sure what the best way to go about this is. shouldi just replace the whole column?

 

Are you talking about your ignition switch ? If so, then all you need to do is remove the lower piece that covers the tumbler up and you will see the switch, its white and has wires running from it. Here is a pic, the right side pic is the switch.

 

Yeah, its easy to repair /replace. I had to fix my friends, the whole unit came out with the key. LOL. Ryan

 

Another tip.. Don't have a lot of keys and junk on the keyring.. Keeping the weight to a min keeps the switch from wearing out /developing problems from the weight jerking around while driving.

 

i replaced my entire lockset when i bought my car since the guy i bought it from was pretty shady. i just took a cuttof wheel and cut the bracke off that mounted the entire ignition switch...the new lock set comes with the switch and harness as an entire replacement assembly. the mounting bracket as well.

 

cool, i take it u got an oem replacement kit of some kind?

Yep, any local part store.

 

i had to get mine for a honda dealer but all i needed was the back part not the key way but it was easy to do.
