Q: Ignition/lock cylinder.
I'm replacing my ignition switch and I've camever across the turn signal canceling cam and other stuff that's hooked up to all the wires in my steer column. Is there a way to get it to pull it with the wires still connected and if not then how/where do I disconnect them so I can get behind it to my lock cylinder?
