Early Bronco Ignition Switch Removal
Tech article by Jeepster and filed under ElectricalTech article by Dan Thomas (Jeepster)
- 1. The Key Cylinder must first be removed. Insert key, Turn to “ACC”. Paperclip or stiff wire in hole (bottom right of Key)
- 2. Push paperclip/wire while turning key to the left, past “ACC”
- 3. The Cylinder will come right out.
- 4. No key? Use a Drill, Only go as deep as you have to so that the switch isnt damaged and the Cylinder core will come out. Check you progress as you drill.
- 5. This is what the Switch looks like. Remove nut and wire.
- 6. Unplug wires from back of switch.
- 7. To remove from dash, The Switch unit and the Bezel have to be pushed together to compress the spring and the switch part rotated counter clockwise to seperate. There are 2 nubs on the bezel that position it in the dash so the Bezel might not turn.
- 8. Another view with the Bezel seperated from switch. Notice the tabs on the Bezel. They are easy to break off so seperate carefully.
