It's time to replace the key/tumbler mechanism on the column before I can't start the car anymore. Pelican says that replacement key/tumbler parts are NLA. GPR has something that says it replaces the tumbler for only about $55 including 2 keys. That just seems too good to be true. Anyone got any experience with the GPR part? Any other recommendations or sources?
(Sorry no link for the GPR part - their web site isn't working tonight. It's under Steering Parts.) |

Dr.. I've experienced the problem with a new electrical switch.. I could start it with a screwdriver, but not with the ignition portion attached. I even ground the tabs down a bit on the tumbler/switch to allow it to turn a bit further... to no avail. Hence I put in a push button start as I needed the car. Haven't gone back to try to fix it yet.
Any idea 'which' electrical part would be reliable? Seems that there are 2 manufacturers. |
