I found this... kinda vague though..

Remove the turn signal and multifunction switch assembly.
Put the key in the LOCK position.
Disconnect the steering column key lock cylinder set terminal connectors.
Attach a wire to the terminal connectors. This will make installation easier.
Remove the buzzer switch assembly (3).








Remove the lock retaining screw (2).
Remove the retaining clip (4) from the steering column lock cylinder set terminal connector (5).
Remove the steering column lock cylinder set (1).
Gently pull the terminal connectors (5) through the column.





any more help let me know

Is the vats messing up or what exactly is the problem? have you tried checking the resistance on the chip in the key and putting a resistor on the vats wire to bypass it? Or jumpering up the VATS relay?

I want to keep the system if I can. I was looking for a "how to" for removal of the ignition switch since I think the short is in there... I want to replace the switch and if that doesnt work, Ill bypass it
