The tools I used:

2. Ignition switch to off.
3. Pull fuse F19
4. Turn ignition on and monitor air bag light on dash, it will be lit continuously if you pulled the right one.
5. Turn ignition off.
6. Disconnect battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. This should disarm the air bag system.

Grab lower shroud and remove it from the upper shroud.
11. Remove the two screws on upper shroud.
12. On top of the column is a 4th screw that holds in the multifunction switch, aka hazard/ turn signal assembly. Carefully remove the screw and gently slide the assembly out. You can now see the ignition switch was behind it.
Don’t let the black plastic around the steering shaft move out!
13. You may need to slide the manual wheel tilt out of your way. Disconnect harness to ignition switch. Remove ignition switch by pressing in on the tabs.
