So how do I remove the ignition switch, I have pulled all the plastics and disconnected all the plugs but I can't figure out how to take the actual assembly off the column. It looks to be riveted on, but I am not sure how that could be..anyways if someone can provide a diagram or a link to an online FSM I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Did that...didn't see anything. Can you direct me more if I missed it?
Here is the reason why I think it is the ignition switch and lock. When starting the car occasionaly the bendix would not retract and the starter would still be engaged after running. If I shut the car off restarted it, usually that resolved the problem. The other day I went to start the car it did the same thing with the starter sticking only this time after turning it off and on again, it would only crank and never fire. I replaced the starter think that was the gremlin I was dealing with, after installing the new starter I went to fire it up and the same thing, crank crank crank no start! Then I noticed something, I could let go of the key and it would still be running the starter, its like the key won't spring back to the on position. Also, sometimes while driving the car the radio and the heater fan would shut off for no apparent reason, if I would jiggle the key it would come back on. I check for fuel pressure and I have plenty of it, but I don't think I am getting any spark...I gotta believe that since the ignition is engaging the starter and sticking in the start position on the switch and not going back to the "on" position it must be the ignition right? I do not believe it to be the actual electric switch, but it might be a combo of the switch and the lock...any help would be appreciated.
