Registered: Mar 2000	posted 12-05-2001 10:21 PM The ez way is an ohm meter. should check zero from B to I when key is on same in start etc. The best way is to put a load on it. A headlight bulb etc. see if switch will carry it. A bad switch might show zero ohms across the switch but not carry a load. IP: Logged

Boss Hoss Gearhead Posts: 222 From: Georgia Registered: Mar 2001	posted 12-05-2001 10:34 PM I am assuming that your ignition switch is pretty much the same as my 1965's ignition switch, and I'm also assuming that you mean the rotating center part that has the keyhole. In a word, you put the switch back in CAREFULLY. It goes in only one way, and you have to make sure the switch is positioned that way or it will NEVER go back in. Look at the bottom of the switch, and then look down in the hole where the switch goes in...you should see how these two parts fit together. Put the switch in and then rotate it the opposite direction you rotated it to get it out. Use gentle but FIRM pressure; do NOT force it. It might take a couple of tries, but it will go back in. ------------------ andy ([email protected]) also known as...*Boss Hoss* 1965 Mustang 289 coupe 1996 Mustang GT coupe IP: Logged
