Title: ignition switch doesn't need key
Post by: CreativeNotice on March 10, 2010, 08:29:05 pm

So my 85 C20 doesn't need a key to start. I can just turn the ignition with nothing in it and it starts right up.
My question, is there something in there that can get caught that would cause this? I'm prob. going to open it up this weekend and take a look see. What should I be looking for?

Get a new lock cylinder.

I once had a '74 C-10 with the same "problem" only I didn't think it was a problem.  I eventually did what VileZambonie reccommended, it was a piece of cake.
