I have a 2 year old ignition switch. When I first got my car, it had a bad ignition switch which I replaced when I first got the car. I haven't had problems again until this year.
I have a 1974 1.8 liter 914. Occasionally, when I turn the key, the brake lights, etc. go on in the first position, but in the START position, nothing happens. If I turn the key on and off a couple of times it will start the car. It's an intermittent problem. One time I turned it and the starter turned over but the engine wouldn't kick. It has happened when the car was hot (80 degrees here yesterday and had been running a bit) and when the car is cold. Is this an ignition switch or could it be a bad starter or solenoid or what? Thanks, Paul |

I'm gonna wire up one of those Ford relay set-ups. I think the high current through the replacement ignition switches is not healthy for them.

I'm gonna wire up one of those Ford relay set-ups. I think the high current through the replacement ignition switches is not healthy for them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) And my car has a Ford starter relay on it. I never have a heat soak hot start issue. But the plastic ignition switches crack. Plain and simple. And it sounds to me like this is Paul's problem based on his description. They are two separate issues. |
