[QUOTE="wowen727, post: 428985, member: 19483"] has anyone heard of the ignition switch wearing out? I am not talking about the actual contacts because I have tested the functionality of the switch- it is operating as designed. however, I know that the steel rod pushes down on the switch to engage it. so, maybe the plastic has worn down to a point that the rod is not fully depressing the switch. Afterall, this rig does have nearly 300,000 miles on her! when i get home today i will mic the switch position in relation to the rod and compare it to the new switch. i have never felt so defeated before with regard to working on vehicles. i HAVE to find the solution and understand it.
