FW: Ignition Switch Failure Mode - BIG RED BUTTON

[Ed Kellock]

I had this on the 1990 V8.  The problem was in the junction block on the
outside of the passenger side frame rail in the engine compartment below the
jump start post area.  There was a connection in there that was a little
loose and had a little bit of black corrosion.  Cleaned that up and no
problem.  This was of course after I had the starter rebuilt.  The did find
something broken in the starter though, so two birds with one stone, I
guess.

I get a no crank sometimes...back off the switch and on again and it will
crank/start.  I bought the electrical portion of the assembly but have not
changed. I'm debating and leaning towards going to a dual toggle switch
configuration... turn the key to unlock the steering column, then switch one
toggles to ON position, with 2nd switch to toggle the starter.... I hope I
find some big red button I can use that will make things look cool as well.
(some sort of ejection button or the like..or what mad max would pull on his
car to give boost).  



If you do bypass the ignition switch electrics, don't use a toggle for the
starter.  Use  pushbutton because you might toggle it on when the engine is
running and ruin the starter or the flywheel or both.
