I cannot find any info on how to replace the ignition switch. I forgot how to search all those great picture shows and stuff. My coach came with no key. The piece with the lock in it pulls right out of the column. There are no tumblers in this lock so I will buy a new one with a key. Is there any trick to reinstallation.
Thanks

MIKE,
Thanks for that wealth of information. I had these manuals when I had muy other 2 coaches but this one came with only an owners manual, (which is invaluable and I appreciate it).
I down loaded the X7525 but there is no page 592. Instead I found "Ignition switch" under Switches on page 12-16. That page directed me to the Steering Section 9 and I found some drawings of the ignition switch. However the only instruction it gives is "Replace the switch", with no instructions as to how to do that. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

From page 592 step 27 or section 9-60 step 27 in the above referenced manual:
27. To install lock, hold lock cylinder sleeve and
rotate knob clockwise against stop. Insert cylinder
into cover bore with key on cylinder sleeve aligned
to keyway in housing. Push in to abutment of cylinder
and sector. Rotate knob counterclockwise, maintaining
a light push inward on cylinder, until drive
section of cylinder mates with drive shaft. Push in
until retainer pops into groove. This locks cylinder
into cover. Check freedom of rotation.

Bob,
http://www.gmceast.com/technical/Sowers_Steering_Column_Upgrade_Repair.pdf
Is a great slide presentation that will show you how to get down to the lock
if you can't just just replace the cylinder (which I doubt). We're going to
present that slide show, and perhaps a physical demonstration at Goshen
(your excuse to make that LONG excursion).

The use of terminology can be confusing. This discussion is about the ignition lock. The ignition switch is located on the top of the column 10 inches or so below the ignition lock.

I want to thank Dennis and all the others who responded to my question about my ignition lock assembly. I went to Autozone and purchased a lock assembly manufactured by LockSmart. It is part number LC14260. In my case the entire lock assembly was missing from my column so all I had to do was make sure the switch was in the off position, insert the new assembly with a little twisting motion and it snapped right into place.
Thanks again everyone and how do we add this number the parts manual?
