HI,

I saw this in another post regarding the ignition switch.

"OK, it took about 15 minutes. Step 1, remove lower left corner trim piece, just snaps out. Step 2 remove 2 screws behind hood release lever and 2 bolts on lower left and right of trim panel under steering wheel, panel then pops out. Step 3 remove 2 bolts and take out metal frame under trim panel from step 2. Step 4 insert key, move to accessory position, insert 1/8" rod into hole on bottom of lock housing and push while pulling on key, lock pops out. Installation of new lock, insert key to acc position and shove it into lock housing. Reinstall trim and you are done. You can get the new lock rekeyed at a locksmith or Toyota before installing. Not sure why Toyota says this porcess takes 3 hours but I guess it includes the technicians 2 hour 45 min lunch break."

Hope this helps,

Chris
