    Question Ignition Switch Drama

    I am seeking advice regarding a intermittent problem that has developed recently with the ignition switch.
    On occasions when I turn the ignition off, the engine restarts, or if key removed the dash lights up as if the key is turned to the start position.
    On other occasions, all will appear ok, everything off, vehicle locked only to have the alarm sound moments later & to find on return to vehicle that dash to be fully lit up.
    Any advice?

    yep Step 1: Spray the switch with Inox (elecy contact friendly) down the keyway
    Continued misbehaviour go to step 2
    Step 2; Replace the switch!
    Cheers Scott

    Graphite lock lubricant works a treat.

    there is a reason why it is NOT a good move to use powdered graphite

    (been fully covered before)

    Scott (post #2 above) gives a good starting point

    Thumbs up Ignition Switch Drama - Revised

    Thanks for the advice. As I have a boat, sprayed ignition lock with CRC Marine 66, which was on hand. No re-occurrence of problems since.
