07 l322 3.6 tdv8 no ignition lights or crank

Blindmiller · Sunday at 09:10

Looking for advice, I went out to the car tonight, and it won’t start. Radio works, interior lights work, but no ignition lights or crank. However it will start if I hold down the toggle switch under the steering column.
Am I right in thinking it’s the ignition switch gone down? Has anyone had this? And any quick fixes?

Toggle switch? What's it for? Out of interest

From what I have been reading it is a switch to turn ignition on without the key, for transport to the dealership so they can operate the height etc

Te ignition switch is a known failure item on the L322 so it sounds like that's your problem. Testing needed before splashing out on a replacement part though

I'd go straight for the connection on the back of the ignition switch. There is a black plug section with copper contacts similar to relay connections.
These corrode and blacken with carbon. We had one at the garage that start only in the morning and when it dried out it wouldn't start and all the accessories would work

Is the key hole in the middle of the dashboard or beside the gear selector?
