I have a suspect ignition switch in my teener. Haynes manual exploded view is so small it's worthless. Clymer only has proceedure for 914-6. Anybody have a good resolution exploded view of the steering column components and / or a step by step? Is the key/mechanical portion still available? I know the electrical switch still is. Does having AC complicate things?

Thanks to all, especially Dave! That is a great how-to article and exactly what i was looking for! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Going to try to replace it this weekend.
I had a feeling the AC was in the way. At least I won't have to remove the center console. BTW, where is the trip odometer reset knob usually relocated to when you have AC? I have one other complicating factor. My 914 has a 930S steering wheel. Anybody know how to remove the horn pad on this wheel? I'd hate to bugger it up getting it off.  |
