C6 Ignition Switch replacement Tips
I just ordered a new Ignition Switch since mind cracked in the corner after years of turning it off!
I was wondering how many members have replaced there's, U-tube video shows it's pretty easy and simple, but there are always tricks to make it easier.
I have watched the video, and looks plain and simple:
Any advice!

Once you have the bezel back in, shine a flash light into the slot holes left of the switch, to make sure you did not knock out the cabin temp sensor, and its now in the bowels of the dash. Hence cabin temp sensor not in the bezel socket, and you will think that you are going through menopause with the heater and AC wilding in temp control.
Your looking for the blue bulb of the cabin temp sensor, to make sure the sensor is still clipped into the back of the bezel/ did not get knocked out when you snapped the bottom end of the bezel into place.
Also, put a towel on top of the steering cover, so you don't scratch the hell out of it with the bottom of the bezel when you remove and install it.

Thanks for your input, and replacing the left, made the right pop out, easy!I will say, I removed the Ignitions switch, and them removed the wire, cause it was hard to get, and reverse it by installing the wire into the switch and then snapped in the switch!
Parts bought from Amazon, OEM.
Old gone. new installed!
