2003 Chevrolet Corvette Ignition Lock Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the ignition lock cylinder on 2003 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: First apply the parking brake while disconnecting the negative Battery Cable before starting the lock cylinder replacement process. Start by removing these components: console, ip accessory trim plate, and driver knee bolster trim panel. First remove the Ignition Lock Cylinder electrical connector from its tab on the Ignition Switch before detaching the connector entirely. Slowly turn on the ignition with a key before inserting a flat bladed screwdriver or alternative tool into the retaining tab under the ignition cylinder lock on the rh. Maintain pressure with a suitable tool to remove the lock cylinder. Plan how to remove the bezel by first looping the Ignition Lock Cylinder wire around the Ignition Switch base during Ignition Lock Cylinder retention. When installing the Ignition Switch bezel attach it to the Ignition Lock Cylinder by following the initial wire placement before bezel removal. The pins of lock cylinder should align through slots of bezel before pushing to lock position. Press the Ignition Lock Cylinder into the Ignition Switch with a key while holding it until the retaining tab makes an audible confirmation sound. Pull the Ignition Lock Cylinder firmly but gently until complete engagement is confirmed. It should not be removable. When the key and ignition are off, attach the electrical connector to the retaining tab of the Ignition Switch. You should replace the driver knee bolster trim panel and reinstall both the ip accessory trim plate and the console. Secure the negative Battery Cable with an 11 lb ft torque setting (15 N.m). Set the transmitters and frees the parking brake for operation. Put the key into position and rotate the ignition through different settings while verifying that the cylinder moves freely and that keys can only be detached when the Ignition Switch is in off.
