Can anyone tell me how to replace the ignition switch, my key was stuck in the off position and the steering is not locked, I was told that I needed a new ignition but first you would have to get the key in the on position to be able to push a button to release the switch. Where is this button that I need to press?

cant find any pics for that in my software. Once you get to the ignition switch assembly, it just says "depress tab to remove tumbler assembly" should be the only tab on the switch assembly
