1998-2003 Buick Regal Ignition switch and key cylinder removal

I take you along as I remove my ignition switch and cylinder from my 2003 Buick Regal GS. I’m not sure but this might apply to several other GM vehicles of the same era.

Kudos for working in the cold! Your "accent" makes me think, "Minnesota?"

Only a troll would give a thumbs down to this video. Thank you so much for your time and patience with this video.

What a great job with this video!!You obviously have a kind heart to take the time to do this on a cold day. You must be Canadian, right? Some of the nicest people I've ever met. Lived in Toronto for a year and love visiting western Canada as well. Take care, God bless and thanks for the help! From the Michigan Upper Peninsula!

how do I know if it's the ignition switch or starter? I have a 98 Buick century and the car won't start but it's not the battery. the ignition has been feeling a bit weird and lots of flashing lights on the dash. I truly appreciate any help. Thank u!!!!

Any tricks to reinsert the lock cylinder all the way back in. Only goes in only so far and can’t get it to turn and seat.

How does anyone watch this video and not compliment Jeremy on his mechanic's attire…cartoon print PJs and Muck boots?!?!? And how about the fact it looks like it might be damn cold outside?!?!?

Awesome video! Thank you very much for taking the time to do that. Helps me out a lot as I evaluate the purchase of a used Regal with this issue. Well done!!!

PS…is that a Sesame Street character?
