Thread: Ignition? Starter?

Quite possibly the ignition switch, they are a common failure.

Thanks bigjon, is this an expensive fix or a simple part found on eBay etc? Or will the whole barrel need replacing? Thanks..

It's the part at the bottom of the barrel & looks like this:


It could also be loose where it's crimped together but a new one is probably best if it is loose now.

Had a price from my independent for genuine switch alone $188! Is there any others on the market? Thinking ill supply it myself and give it over to an auto electrician

Just google the part number and you'll find lots of vendors on the web. You'll likely find a better price but will have to pay postage (and it'll take some time to reach you, too).

Great picture to explain Scott,
I also like how the picture convientiently excludes the 563 steps prior to gently holding the switch between your left thumb and forefinger

landcol, defintiely worth checking the wiring connectors to the back of the switch prior to buying parts, the blade connectors have a habit.... oh and make sure you pack your triple jointed size 2 hands before removing the binnacle
