thanks trickster,.. this certainly makes sense of the cable.......next question,,, is the parklock part of the ignition switch??? can the switch be replaced without having to disconnect the cable???... many thanks........chris

 

The cable is attached to the ignition switch only and will have to be disconnected from the back of it if you plan to replace the whole ignition switch. It is rather simple to do if you follow the instructions given. You will only have to disconnect the cable from the switch and not from the shifter assembly.
