Re: new ign switch Reply #18 – June 30, 2005, 10:23:28 AM I'm thinking that's whats wrong with my '85. I'd crank it over, and it would run as long as the key was turned sort of halfway between start and run. Let go of the key and it shuts off. I think for the peace of mind I might replace the ignition switch and lock cylinder all at once. Quote Selected
Re: new ign switch Reply #19 – June 30, 2005, 10:43:44 AM I just got done bout 5 minutes ago replacing my ignition switch. I uhh, rigged, it. I used a t-15 i believe and tapped down the tamper pins alittle bit, then used the t-27 and pounded it in. Worked good. Saved me 10 bucks by using what I had. Couple pinched fingers but Its worth it. \I had to remove the dash cluster trim to have enough space to mess with the rear screw on the switch. So that added like 5 minutes. All in all took bout 30 minutesWell 1 of the 2 draws was fixed. The ignition switch was one of the problems.Now onto finding the draw in Fuse 8. Quote Selected
