How do I change an ignition switch in a 760 Volvo?

Answer by  James916 (539)

You will have to first remove the steering wheel. Then you will need to remove the locking cam assembley, a special tool is required for this, available at a parts store. Once that is out, there should be just a few screws holding in the ignition switch. Remove the screws, and replace the switch.

The ignition switch is a module which requires its own wrench to remove in your model car. I'd leave it to the dealership as they will ensure that it will work properly, you can sometimes even take your own parts!

You're going to need a new ignition for starters and a flat bar, you should be able to pry the ignition jack off easily. This is a fairly difficult repair, if you consider yourself a novice i would recommend either consulting your car manual, or seeking the help of a licensed mechanic to-be safe.

You will have to take the steering will a part. You will see it after you take it apart. Or go to the auot store and get a manual for it. It will show you how to find the ignition switch. That would be the best way to fix the switch.

The ignition switch may be what you're speaking of. I never had to replace mine until my SRS light started popping on intermittently. The switch is also responsible for other electronic accessories and usually it's only changed out if you're having a problem with electrical items going wonky, or if the key gets stuck in the start position.
