Does anyone have a link or maintance manual page number for how to replace
an ignition switch? Or how to be able to see if all the connections on it
are still connected?

Fay,

If I remember correctly, all the electrical switching for ignition is located down on the lower steering column. The ignition switch only operates a rod that actuates a switch on the lower column. The only reason to change the switch is if it is frozen and won't turn.

Gary,

Thanks for the heads up. So that is most likely not our problem.

Fay

Under the steering wheel, in the column, there is a rod that moves up and down with the key. Mine was corroded and would not move. I poured penetrating oil down it and it came free.
