""If the video glitches during your viewing, just advance a couple of seconds and will be ok. Sorry for any inconvenience"". Many thanks to members at GMTNation Forum for their suggestions that helped in digging in and finding this cause of my problem. So, in case the original ignition switch, that you are replacing, is geared wrong to begin with & when you match the gear for the new switch, a new or same problem could still be there on the new install. This video explains & shows a way to correct the gear set up for the new switch. The video explains how this problem COULD occur.

Bingo! I have been having issues this week trying to fix our 08. replaced this and a relay and removed a failing remote start. I rolled the gap out of sight until the battery light came on. then went back just until it went off. installed switch. works perfect now.

I was having an issue getting it to start, kept seeing the battery light come on before i had the switch back in place and thought I had a loose wire somewhere in the column; now I'm thinkin I need to re-evaluate because just moving the teeth in the same order as the video, didn't provide me with a start up. Going back at it today with this comment in mind!!

I think it is important to note that while you should match the gear alignment from the old ignition switch, with the new switch, it is also very important to make sure that the old gear alignment is correct to begin with. My girl has had 100's of new ignition cycles now, since I did this correction, with no problems.

My ignition switch isn’t lining up. It seems to be off to the side. What would you recommend?

Did you get it fixed ?

@henrycoles5584 5 ай бұрын

@@AlexGreen-os6zb Yes, I got it fixed. Moved one tooth at a time toward pushing the start mode of the switch until it felt like engaging the starter plus a bit more. I didn't want to over-travel the switch.

Does restarting the vehicle over and over back to back not risk getting the timing off??

I just had one repaced. I have the exact opposite problem. I can pull my keys out of the ignition and the battery light stays on on the dash and my odometer stays lit up. Did they install incorrectly?

@RonBasham Жыл бұрын

It is a very good possibility that the ignition switch is a tooth off.
