It appears the vehicle has a bad ignition switch. On each side of the steering column you will find sunken screws. Removing those crews will allow you to see other bolts/screws to remove which allows you access to the ignition switch. You will need to press buttons/slots in order to remove the switch. I would suggest if by chance you can find a replacement switch in a savage yard, get the entire wirings that runs along the steering column and into the firewall. It seems complicated but its not. Also its suggested, using your phone take pictures to remind you of where things belongs.

I have a 1998 supercharged Buick Riviera. It won't start. It's sounds like it's about to start and then it's like the spark shuts off. There are no trouble codes or warning lights. There is gas in the tank. I was told that it might have something to do with the factory alarm. Does anyone have any ideas? 2 Answers
