Title: ignition switch help
Post by: BIG CHEVY on May 12, 2011, 06:21:32 pm

Ok.......my ignition switch works great. My radio remembers every station and stuff all times.
When i flip my key back nothing happens. I dont have any radio only type acc action. I have the position. And it moves just fine to the position. But must not b hooked up right. Can u guys tell me how the wires should hook up in the ateering column? I know radios good. I know wiring good. But dont know the action at the switch. Help?

Will do. Does anyone have a diagram or layout of the fuse panel? Its a 79 k-10 pickup with 350? I have no book and all worss on fuse box are worn off.
