Removal
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2For improved access, remove the securing
screws and unclip the lower and upper
steering column shrouds.
3Insert the ignition key and turn to position
“I”, then, working through the access hole,
depress the spring clip using a suitable tool
and pull the key to withdraw the lock barrel
and cylinder from the ignition switch housing.
The spring clip access hole is shown (see
illustration). Note that, on certain models, the
spring clip must be released by inserting the
tool through a small circular hole at the top of
the switch housing, above the rectangular slot
shown. Slight movement of the key may be
necessary to allow removal of the barrel and
cylinder.
4To remove the lock barrel from the cylinder
insert the key fully into the barrel and remove
the retaining circlip, taking care not to
damage the circlip location, then withdraw the
key approximately 5.0 mm (0.2 in) to retract
the lock barrel securing lug, and withdraw the
barrel from the cylinder.
5To remove the ignition switch, disconnect
the wiring plug, then remove the two grub
screws and withdraw the switch.
Refitting
6Refitting is a reversal of removal, bearing in
mind the following points.
7Note that the lock barrel can only be fitted
to the cylinder in one position, and check with
the key fully inserted that the barrel can be
turned from position “O” to “Ill” satisfactorily.
8The open jaws of the lock barrel retaining
circlip must align with the keyway register on
the cylinder, and the cylinder retaining circlip
must locate in the slot in the ignition switch
housing.
9On completion, check the operation of the
steering lock and ignition switch in all
positions.
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2Remove the securing screws and unclip the
lower and upper steering column shrouds.
3Remove the two securing screws and
disconnect the two wiring plugs, then
withdraw the switch from the steering column.
4Refitting is a reversal of removal.
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.2The relay is located on a bracket above the
steering column. Access is gained either by
removing the driver’s side lower facia panel or
the instrument panel.
3Unclip the relay from the bracket, and
disconnect the wiring plug (see illustration).
4Refitting is a reversal of removal. Check for
correct operation before refitting the facia
panel or instrument panel.
The procedure is identical to that described
for the direction indicator switch, except for
the additional removal and refitting of an earth
lead (see illustration).
1For automatic transmission models, refer to
Chapter 7, PartB. For manual gearbox
models, proceed as follows:
2Disconnect the battery negative lead.
3Apply the handbrake, jack up the front of
the vehicle and support on axle stands (see
“Jacking and Vehicle Support”).
4Working underneath the vehicle,
disconnect the wiring plug, then unscrew the
switch from the gearbox extension housing.
5Refitting is a reversal of removal, but make
sure that the wiring is routed clear of the
exhaust system.1Disconnect the battery negative lead.

2Using a thin-bladed screwdriver, carefully
prise the switch from the facia panel.
3Disconnect the wiring plug and withdraw
the switch.

6Carefully pull off the switch knob, using
pliers with padded jaws if necessary.
7Using a thin-bladed screwdriver, prise out
the switch front plate from the facia panel.
8Squeeze the switch retaining tabs, then
withdraw the switch and disconnect the wiring
plug (see illustration).
9Refitting is a reversal of removal.
Loudspeaker balance joystick
10Using a thin-bladed screwdriver, carefully
prise the joystick front plate from the facia
panel.
11Twist the joystick assembly retaining ring
anti-clockwise and remove the ring.
12Working behind the facia panel,
disconnect the wiring plug and slide out the
joystick assembly.
