Replace ignition switch on 99 S-10

I've replaced one on a '97 Blazer, I think that would be the same. It is not
too bad of a job, but a little time consuming. Make sure you have a torx
socket (female), I think it is a #4 to take the ignition switch out. I had
to buy one special for this, that was the most time consuming (waiting for
the socket to come). You can't get at the screw head with anything else to
get them loose. GM was thinking of us again! You have to pry the vinyl thing
off right where the key goes in, in order to get the column cover off. Don't
worry if you are gentle with it, it will push right back on and won't be
noticable. It unplugs way down at the bottom of the steering column, someone
from GM told me to unplug this and get the new one in within a couple of
minutes or it will lockup some sort of anti-theft device. I don't know if
this is true or not, but I did mine as fast as I could and had no problems.
Good Luck, let us know how you make out!

Oh, by the way I got my socket a NAPA, but like I said I had to order it.
