740 ignition switch replacement 700

posted by  someone claiming to be CM on  Tue Jun 21 03:17 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I believe I have a problem with my ignition switch...several electrical items fail until I jiggle the key...The car is a 1991 740 b230 sedan.

can the experts give me some instruction on the removal of the switch? I read the FAQ, but the description was brief.

I have removed the padded cover under the steering wheel. Underneath is a metal plate, which I assume must come off as well. Once this plate is off, is the switch accessible? Any advice on removing the 2 screws? are they easily accessible?

I realize that I must also remove the negative ground from the battery and wait for 10 minutes to deactivate the SRS before I begin...

Any suggestions much appreciated.
