Ooook.. I just tightened the bolts down but left the wires hanging in the same location, same issue, starter cranked. So then i loosened the bolts a little so there was still contact but it was just like my test position, no issue, theb tightened it halfway and it jumps back and firth between wanting to start and not( keep ib mind there is plenty of contact between the wires and the switch at all these times, this would be an issue with the switch).
Now im going to remove the switch and tighten the bolts all the way down and check it with an ohm meter |

Have you tried to hot wire your car? Just to see if it will start? At least it will let you know for sure the ignition switch is bad.

Defective. The starter terminal worked itself loose and causes the issue

Mike, yes i test all functions of the key switch when im doing the keyed testing.
New switch installed, tests good, took it easy on tightening. Everything seems just fine! |
