Ok, im attempting to change out my ignition switch. Got the steering column dropped, got the switch unbolted, but cant seem to get it out. This is probably a dumb question, and i apologize if its really simple, but how do i get that cable Disconnected from the back of it, not the rod from the ignition but on the other side? I tried pushing it (it seems like i should just push it in) and pulling. Is there like a release button on this thing that i cant find?

Have no idea if it's the issue you are having, but have you tried inserting the key and turning it to the on position? I've read a few posts that suggest the key must be turned on for removal - which kinda doesn't make sense 'cause most folks replace the ignition because the key doesn't work anymore - but it was a thought I had.

Key does need to be in the run position for easy removal.
and dont forget to disconnect the vats wiring before pulling it out too far.
