Re: R75/6 Ignition switch rebuild possible?

So, I've figured it out. It turns out that the answer was staring me in the face the entire time, and well, I should have realised it sooner. Anywho, that lesson that I have slowly been learning that states don't take things apart without first taking pictures of it or knowing how to put it back tog...

Re: R75/6 Ignition switch rebuild possible?

I went through everything again last night to double check. Everything appears to be peachy except the park position power to starter button issue (or non issue?). So, I jumped the red hot wire to grey park circuit wire to double check that the ignition switch is not connecting circuits that it shou...

Re: R75/6 Ignition switch rebuild possible?

First I'd check if the plate the connectors are attached to is loose. I've heard of people fixing a similar issue by pressing down on it and re-crimping the bent tabs that hold it in place for better contact. Thanks for the reply.
