Uh oh
What am I in for here? I have a '80 CJ5. I discovered last week that I
can start it without a key, even when it's in the locked position. Is
this something I'm going to get so pissed off at trying to replace it
that I'm better off just doling it out, or is it relatively straight
forward?
No, I'm not going to tell you where I live, it's in the garage anyway.
Thanks.

That's why new cars for tha past twenty five years have a locked
steering wheel and transmission, anyone may start the engine by jumping
the solenoid.

Re: Uh oh
It's not a difficult job, but a bit time consuming. You will need a GM
lock plate tool that most auto stores will lend you and you will likely
need to drill out a rivet on the cylinder itself if it is a column lock.

Re: Uh oh
Mine can start in any position except Locked. Once the key is turned out of
the locked position, I can take it out completely and leave it in my pocket
until the ignition is turned back to the Locked position again.
It is not too difficult to replace the lockset, but you will need to
disassemble the steering column in the area. You will need a special tool to
get the Lock Plate off to actually get to the lockset. The lockset itself it
a standard GM part that you should be able to get from any parts store. The
Special Tool is also available, it should cost something under $10, and
AutoZone will let you use theirs for free. You will also need the steering
wheel puller.
