steering column trim- anyone?
97 F150- need to replace the turn signal and wiper switch and chase an intermittant short in the "OD off" button.
Got the dash apart- easy- but what is the trick to remove the black bezel around the ignition key? (The part that you actually are turning when you start the truck.)
Can't get the top steering column trim piece off unless this is removed- what is the trick?
Thanks!

Sorry that no one has answered yet. I hope you werent stuck in the middle of the job 
You have to remove the ignition lock cylinder. Once you have the lower column cover off you can see a small hole on the bottom side of where the lock cylinder fits. Turn the key to the run position and take a small pick or punch or screwdriver and push it into the small hole to release the pin that holds the lock cylinder in. Then you just pull the lock cylinder straight out.
