Chevrolet El Camino Ignition Switch Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How is the ignition switch removed and installed on Chevrolet El Camino?A: As a precaution against theft of the vehicle, the ignition switch is located inside the channel section of the brake pedal support and is remotely controlled by a rod and rack assembly from the Ignition Lock Cylinder. For models from 1969 to 1976, to remove the ignition switch, the steering column must either be removed or lowered and well supported, without the need to remove the steering wheel. Before removing the switch, which is secured by two screws, it should be set to the 'LOCK' position. If the lock cylinder and actuating rod have already been removed, the 'LOCK' position can be determined by inserting a screwdriver in the actuating rod slot, moving the switch slide up until a definite stop is felt, and then moving it down one detent. Installation is a reversal of removal, ensuring the switch is in the 'LOCK' position and using original or identical type securing screws, as longer or thicker screws could render the collapsible design of the steering column inoperative. For models from 1977 to 1980, the switch should be set to the 'OFF-UNLOCKED' position before removal. If the lock cylinder has already been removed, the switch actuating rod should be pulled up until a definite stop is felt and then pushed down two detents. Before installing the switch, it should be set to the 'OFF-UNLOCK' position with the gearshift lever in neutral. The switch slider should be moved two positions to the right from 'ACCESSORY' to 'OFF/UNLOCK', after which the actuator rod can be fitted into the slider hole and assembled to the steering column using two screws, with only the lower one tightened to 35 lbf in torque.
