Anyone know how to replace the ignition switch?? I was thinking I could go borrow a few from the junkyard cause mine is no longer working.(got a wire that goes into the coil). Someone said that if you replace the ignition switch you have to use a new key too.. Is that true?

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Originally posted by djcaz_aom View PostIf you are changing the switch, then you can keep the same key. If you changing out the lock cylinder, then you will also use a different key, unless you get a locksmith to re-key the new cylinder.
the ignition switch in 100% inside the car. if you are working under the hood you are working on the ignition coil or ignitor. both those are components of the distributor. the coil i think has no wires attached to it. just sits in there and has 2 screws that go through it. the ignitor (small silver thing should fit in the palm of your hand) has 3 or 4 wire plugs on it.
changing the ignition switch is literally a 3 minute job after you get the steering column off(idk how long this takes b/c my car was missing it when i got it)
changing the ignitor might take you 15 minutes if you never taken the distributor apart before. also dont forget to use the grease that comes with teh part if you change this out.Last edited by AaronRVegas; 07-05-2010, 01:28 PM.Parts For Sale
