Key Start at Cold Temperatures

[Max Hoepli]

I am in the process of changing the ignition switch. I took out the speedo
housing. I notice a red dot about 2 cm from the electrical switch end on top
of the cast ignition shaft. That is lining up with the hole part of the
white plastic housing of the ignition switch. What is under red colouring?

 

How do I proceed from here?

When I turn the key to the start position, I hear nothing. I turn key to
off, then turn to start position again and the motor turns over. Turning the
key to start position and I hear nothing only happens when the temperature
is -10C or colder. Turning the key when it is cold is a little stiffer than
at higher temperatures. Car will crank over slowly, may not start at all.



Ideas?
