I have replaced many a ignition switch on earlier models but never a 75 or 76. Found out today that it ain't like my 74 cars.
I have the wheel, turn sig. & wiper switches removed. Figured out how to get the mechanical switch out but do not know how in the heck to gain access and removal/replacement of the electrical part of the switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 94teener, Phil |

I've done this and it's fairly simple. I think it's easier than on the earlier models.
Once you have the plastic surround piece off, You just need to remove all of the connections on the back of the turn signal/wiper switch and remove it by backing out the 4 long screws that hold it to the column. Then loosen the large allen bolt on the bottom of the metal piece which attaches to the column. Remove this piece and take the switch out from the backside by removing the small retaining screw that holds it in place. It should then drop right out. I hope this explaination helps. I can see it in my head, but it is somewhat difficult to articulate exactly. |
