Ignition turns without a key.
« on: October 11, 2014, 11:13:52 am »
I can start my truck without the actual key in ignition. I assume a fairly common problem. Easy fix to just buy a universal switch and install it?

You problem isn't the switch - replace the ignition tumbler and key.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

HA! I have the exact opposite problem.  Mine won't turn even if the key is in.  LOL  New keys didn't help.  I need a new switch too.

I can pull my key out in any position... Lol. I'm not worried about it though because I am getting a new column sometime soon.
