Lower ignition switch r&r

[XRAY94553]

I have a scout ll 1978 manual trans. I need to replace the lower ignition switch. Anyone have a thread or link on how to do that. I looked in my shop book but came up empty and looked for it online but it’s all about the key ignition switch replacement. Any help please.

A couple of suggestions:
1. Scroll down thru this forum for similar threads, there are several pages of threads.....also try the Basic Tech threads.
2. The Scout II utilizes a GM/Saginaw steering column. So I bet this subject is covered in a YouTube video
of a 70's or 80's GM car or truck. Different vehicle but the same column & switch & mechanism.

Not a big deal to replace. There is just a rod from the key to activate the switch and a big plug with lots of wires.

Success it was easy. And the part actually worked now it’s easy to turn my key and engine cranks right up every time. Just like new.
