How do you remove the ignition lock cylinder from a 1994 Saturn sc2?

If it is like the '97 SC2, which it likely is:
Remove the plastic cover from around the steering column.
Turn the old ignition cylinder to ACC (I know what you are about to say... If you can turn the cylinder, why replace it. Unfortunately I can't answer that. I had to drill out the old lock to replace the one on my saturn. Please consult a locksmith before doing so. You don't want to drill into the wrong parts.)
With the old cylinder turned to ACC, there is a small button on the side (probably upper right towards the air vents) Push this button in and the old cylinder should pull out. Installation is reverse of removal (without the drilling...)

∙ 12y agoYou have to get the ignition core to turn otherwise you will have to replace the housing,if you get it to turn than put it in the run position, On the right side of the ignition switch housing there will be a small hole (2002 Saturn). Put a piece of a coat hanger in the hole. This will allow you to PUSH/PRESS UP up on a spring loaded tab/latch (about 1/2 inch in) to remove the ignition core/cylider. However if you are having trouble, the key is most likely worn excessivly. You will need the key to pull on to get the cylinder out. IF THE KEY will not stay in the cylinder than USE A SCREWDRIVER to lightly pry out the core. If you are having trouble than here are two tips, turn the key slightly back I MEAN SLIGHTLY BACK and try again also if the vehcicle has an automatic transmission remove the shift interlock cable from under the housing this will be a black plastic piece right underneath the cylinder, here the key will probably break the 3 little plastic clips. No worrys... If and when you do this, simply reattach it by wraping a wire tie around it, if you are curious how i know this it is because I'm a technician that works at a Saturn dealership.

∙ 12y agoThis is a very simple repair. Ijust installed a new one on my Saturn Sc2 94 just like yours. To start disconnect the battery, then take out all the screws on the lower steering colum cover. This is a pain and required me to drill a bigger hole seeing as i did not have a small enough socket to fit in the hole that keeps the top and bottom halves to gether. After you have taken the top off you will notcie the bottom is held in my the ignition cylinder cover. Pop off that black cover on the ignition and slide off the case. Then on the top of the housing for the ignition is a little tab you must push and it pops right out. You may need to pop out 2 sets of wiring (easy) to get to the tab. I replaced mine but now i need a new switch becasue my car wont shut off ~_~

Also go go www.wrenchead.ca and it has a manual that explains all. if you don't know the answer to a question please keep your moth shut ,please don't waste my time

i don't really see the point in doing this it would take quite a bit of time to disassemble the ignition and remove all the tumblers if it can even come apart it would be a lot easier to just buy a used switch and change it out. it might be possible to do but imo not worth the effort
