Removal of ignition switch on slr mclaren
There are two switches. The key lock cylinder and actual switch 180
degrees to the left of that, on the left side of the steering column.
You need a special tool to remove the switch.
First, remove the steering column cover with 3 bolts at the bottom,
facing the floor. Remove tilt lever if equipped. Now insert the key,
turn to on position. From the instrument cluster side, insert a small
screw driver or tiny punch to push in the retainer, like a door knob
bolt in a house, and pull the cylinder out.
Unplug only one electrical connector for the cylinder, or two for the
switch. Do not touch yellow wires or any airbag components, though they
might have inflated, still be careful, you didn't say, and they keep a
minimal amount of power even with a smashed battery.
