Interior problem
1999 Pontiac Grand Am 6 cyl Automatic 165000 miles

Ignition switch will not turn. Should I remove the switch & how does it come out? I have taken out the radio & screws that hold the switch in place. However I am unable to disconnect the plug in electricial connections & the cable that is in the back of switch. What to do? Thank you!
