To replace the ignition switch in a Jeep Cherokee, unscrew the screw located at the bottom of the steering column, near the switch itself. This will allow you to pull the switch outwards and replace it with a new spare part.

The new switch should then be inserted into its housing and secured by tightening the screw at the bottom of the steering column. Once the new lock is inserted and secured, check that it functions correctly.
