How do you disconnect the ignition switch and remove the lock cylinder on Pontiac Vibe?

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the steering column covers. Unplug the ignition switch wiring harness connectors, then remove the switch retaining screws and pull the switch from the lock cylinder housing, with installation being the reverse of removal. For models equipped with the engine immobilizer system, gently dry off the plastic shroud around the key lock cylinder and disconnect the electrical connector, lifting the shroud edge from the locating tab just enough to slip it off, as it houses the amplifier for the special transponder keys. Pry lightly to remove the illumination ring and then take out the unlock arming switch. Insert the key and turn it to the ACC position. Use a small screwdriver or punch to depress the lock cylinder retaining pin, then withdraw the key cylinder. To install the lock cylinder, depress the retaining pin and guide it into the housing until the retaining pin extends back into the locating hole, with the remainder of installation being the reverse of removal.

Pontiac Vibe Ignition Switch

The concern about the Pontiac Vibe that we are going to discuss further is the Ignition Switch that is also known as the starter switch and helps to start the vehicle's Ignition and the Charging assemblies. Each time one uses a key, button, or a remote to turn the ignition switch in the Pontiac Vibe, it powers up the computer to start the engine and other circuits that control parts such as the radio and windows among others. In the past, Pontiac Vibe vehicles used manual mechanical keys for the ignition switches and thus one could not unlock without the right key. However, with the use of technology, manufacturers have brought keyless ignition systems that use a button to start the car but still requires the car to get a transponder signal. The ignition switch is one of the most essential components of a car but its replacement is still quite easily done as it usually involves the use of a simple plug and play mechanism that is exclusive to the Pontiac Vibe.

Each OEM Pontiac Vibe Ignition Switch we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
