in-place i n the casted notch (Fig. 15).
(10) I n s t a l l t h e i g n i t i o n switch actuator rod
from
the bottom of the lock housing v i a t h e slotted hole i n
the housing and attach i t to the bellcrank. Insert t h e

the bellcrank o n t h e m o u n t i n g surface (Fig. 20). I f
applicable, the transmission shift lever should be i n
the P A R K position.

Place t h e i g n i t i o n switch o n t h e i g n i t i o n
s w i t c h actuator rod and rotate i t 90 degrees t o lock
the r o d into position.
(12) To i n s t a l l the i g n i t i o n lock, t u r n t h e key to t h e
L O C K position and remove the key. T h i s w i l l cause
the buzzer/chime operating lever t o r e t r a c t i n t o t h e
key/lock cylinder. N o w insert the key/lock cylinder

rotate t h e key/lock cylinder. W h e n t h e components
are aligned, the key/lock cylinder w i l l move i n w a r d
and the spring loaded retainers w i l l "snap" i n t o place
and " l o c k " the cylinder i n t h e housing.
(13) W i t h the key/lock cylinder i n the L O C K posi-
t i o n and the i g n i t i o n switch i n the L O C K position
(the second detent position from the top), t i g h t e n t h e
i g n i t i o n switch r e t a i n i n g screws.
(14) Route t h e buzzer/chime switch wires b e h i n d
the w i r i n g post and down t h r o u g h the space between
the lock housing and the steering c o l u m n jacket. Re-
move the i g n i t i o n switch key, position t h e switch i n
the housing and t i g h t e n the r e t a i n i n g screws.
SHAFT INSTALLATION
CAUTION: During installation, do not strike the
steering column shaft with a hammer (or other
heavy object) because this could damage the col-
lapsible connection.
(1) I n s t a l l the bearing and the spring on t h e steer-
i n g column shaft. Lubricate and i n s t a l l the rubber O-
r i n g seal i n the lower groove on the upper end o f the
shaft (Fig. 21). I n s e r t the shaft completely i n t o t h e
steering column.
(2) Force the upper bearing into the upper bearing
housing. The b e a r i n g must be f u l l y "seated" i n t h e
b e a r i n g cavity.
(3) Push u p w a r d on the steering column shaft to
compress the b e a r i n g spring and r e t a i n t h e shaft i n
t h i s position u n t i l t h e "snap" r e t a i n i n g r i n g is i n -
stalled i n the shaft groove.
(4) Lubricate t h e inside of the lock plate (to pre-
vent r a t t l e ) and i n s t a l l the lock plate on t h e steering
c o l u m n shaft (Fig. 13).
(5) I n s t a l l the upper bearing "snap" r e t a i n i n g r i n g
on the steering shaft (Fig. 12).
(6) I n s t a l l the four screws t h a t attach the b e a r i n g
h o u s i n g t o the lock housing (Fig. 12).
KEY LAMP AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH INSTALLATION
(1) I n s t a l l t h e i g n i t i o n switch k e y l a m p on t h e
b e a r i n g housing (Fig. 11).
(2) I n s t a l l t h e t u r n signal switch o n the b e a r i n g
h o u s i n g (Fig. 10). Route the wires f r o m the t u r n sig-
n a l s w i t c h and t h e key lamp t h r o u g h t h e opening be-
tween t h e bearing housing and t h e lock housing a n d
down along the bottom of the steering column jacket.
T i g h t e n the three attaching screws w i t h 3 N n n (24
in-lbs) torque.
(3) Assemble t h e wash/wipe switch, t h e stalk a n d
cover, t h e m u l t i - f u n c t i o n control switch, t h e cover,
and t h e knob (Fig. 9).
(4) Place the wash/wipe switch i n the lock housing,
route t h e wires t h r o u g h t h e lock housing and t h e
shift housing, and attach t h e m t o t h e t u r n signal
switch.
(5)
Route
t h e dimmer switch actuator r o d u p
t h r o u g h the housings and insert i t i n t o the "pocket"
i n t h e wash/wipe switch.
(6) Compress the dimmer switch u n t i l two 0.093-
i n c h diameter d r i l l b i t shanks can be inserted i n t o
the t w o a l i g n m e n t holes. W i t h one end o f the rod i n
the wash/wipe switch and the other end o f the rod i n
the d i m m e r switch, apply a s l i g h t u p w a r d force a n d
attach t h e d i m m e r switch to the bracket. Remove the
d r i l l b i t s . The switch should " c l i c k " w h e n the lever i s
lifted; a n d " c l i c k " again, as the lever r e t u r n s and i m -
mediately before i t reaches the "stop" i n the " d o w n "
position.
(7) I n s t a l l the t u r n signal lever cover.
(8) I n s t a l l the breakaway capsules.
(9) Position t h e w i r i n g t r o u g h in-place over t h e
wires. U s e c a r e t o a v o i d " p i n c h i n g " t h e w i r e s be-
