as the title says, intermitent problem which is getting more mittent.
right, i turn key in ignition and nothing, no dash lights noffink. when this is happening i have no interior lights from an open door or on the ON position, and the stereo comes on to standby, this is wired up to a permanent live feed.
things ive tried- juggling the key in the barrel, sometimes works sometimes not.
swapped over yellow relays in fuse box, worked for a while but still have fault.
took the steering lock/barrel off to reveal the switch, barrel ok and for a while turning switch directly has been working till tonight, when i got stranded in the pitch dark middle of nowhere.
made up jumper wire and bridged the live feed to first position terminal when heard a small click and ignition lights on dash came on, turned switch fired up and ran ok.
now ho probs once started, ie doesnt cut out, but by the time i got home 3/4 hour later the ignition switch felt warm?
iam thinking of putting a new switch on tomorrow, but iam not 100% convinced it is.
any ideas chaps?
