I pulled the instrument cluster and was preparing to pull the ignition assembly. I reached back and pulled on the assembly and the switch part almost fell off in my hand. I pulled the wiring harness off and two of the three screws that hold the switch on fell out and the third one had about three threads holding it on. I lined the key tumbler and the switch up and it slipped right back together. It was very tight but I was able to put the screws back in without taking the assembly off the column. So if you run into the symptoms that I had you might want to check that out before you pull the assembly.
Thanks for all your help.
