Excellent presentation! I was an instructor for thirty years and don't believe I ever heard anyone as articulate as you are. There was not a single pause, such as searching for a word and your pace was perfect. You should be a college professor! Our situation is a bit different in that the engine will not turn off, even with the key removed. We disconnected the battery to shut down the engine and, also, the panel lights were remaining illuminated. Best of luck from out here in Idaho and we definitely owe you a beer!

My 1996 K1500 had was not shifting, the Tach/Speedometer quit and the gear indicator was out. Ordered this part and replaced the starter switch and it fixed it all. The video is spot on. A couple things to add. No need to remove the snap ring. While not necessary to remove the steering wheel it really gives you room to work if you do. Also pay attention to the direction he is using the screwdriver to remove the airbag. The E-4 star bit can be found at O'riley auto parts. They are a slender 1/4 inch drive socket set of 5 and will fit to take off the two screws holding the switch on. Disassembly took a few because I had never done it but reassembly only took about 30 minutes. Not that hard to do and will save you money by not having someone else do it.

Thanks for the video. You WILL need a 4mm female torx socket for the steering wheel part of the switch. Start to finish, took me about 3 hours. I did not remove the steering wheel.

I’ve already replaced the ignition key and lock cylinder and door locks with one from 1a auto. I thought that would fox the problem but it didn’t so I was wondering would this ignition switch fix the problem?

Another great, thorough tutorial. My son’s 98 Silverado keeps poppin’ the “IGN-1” fuse (@fuse box under hood). I’ve inspected the fuse box and the underneath side, no signs of burns or corrosion. Could a faulty ignition switch assembly be the culprit? Or, is there something else I should investigate. Thanks.

Question: Can a bad ignition switch cause an intermittent problem where the alternator does not charge but vehicle will still crank and start? I have this problem on my truck and neither myself nor 3 mechanics have been able to figure out what's going on. It has new alternator, battery etc...problem still randomly happens, which then causes trans computer to not power and truck is stuck in 1st gear with battery discharging. A friend said ignition switch could be the cause... Fun times.

+elvis pressedtalot You can use a Multi-meter to check continuity pin by pin to look for broken wires, check for voltage at the switch as it is operated. It's more common to have the switch wear out internally from it turning over and over again. After you take the column apart to access the wires you still might need to replace the switch assembly after all.

Easy test if it is your ignition switch is not working . If you’re tac. does not work, speedometer is not working properly, shift indicator light is not working, and your transmission is not shifting or stuck in 3rd. Here’s what you do to test your ignition switch. With the engine running, hit the back of the Key and drive into the ignition switch. It might take a few sharp hits but see if your tech starts working. If it works I believe everything else will too. This procedure confirms your ignition switch is bad. It comes as an assembly wiring harness. I just ordered a wiring harness through (1A Auto )for $37 and will be putting it in shortly I believe this will cure of my problem.

Can a bad ignition switch cause the starter to crank before I turn the key all the way? In “on” or “run” mode it starts cranking the engine and won’t stop unless I turn the key off. I think the starter is staying on and squealing when the engine starts. It literally starts to crank before I turn the key to start it. So weird.

I have a 95 diesel and one day I went to start it up and nothing. I had zero issues with speedo transmission etc. I waited a push button switch up and that worked great for a few weeks. Then my glow plug light stopped working and it was crank city no start. I checked voltage on the harness weird and one has zero current. I will be picking up that e4 bit tomorrow and finishing this job. Hopefully that does the trick. Really want to get the new tires back running...

I had an issue where my vehicle would start with no key, or any key would fit and turn the ignition. I replaced my ignition lock cylinder, and now my new key won't come out, It don't look like my key is turning all the way into the off position. My question is, would a faulty ignition switch like this cause a key not to turn all the way off? Thanks!

You do not have to pull the steering wheel. There is no point at all (this is for trucks without airbags, I do not have them so I wouldn't know if it matters or not if they are there) Order an E4 deep socket online before you tackle this. There is a special one made for these vehicles.

Just want everyone to know these Chevy models ignition switches go bad and it will cause a total cranking no spark situation. Luckily a previous owner told me to smack it a lil bit and it started one last time. Next morning nothin. I get mine in mail Tuesday and then we should be back in business. (After changing my entire ignition system under the hood) it turns out to be this damn thing LOL

Symptoms of a bad ignition switch are no tac or speedometer working to include odometer stops working also. Transmission feels like its slipping and not shifting correctly. Problem solved by replacing the switch. Was worried that it was the ECM much more expensive. not much content on the web about this fix.

I have a 2000 suburban. I turn my key forward it starts fine. When it is started the key will not release back by its self. I will have to turn the key back manually when started. I did try to replace ignition itself and still continued. Would this be an ignition switch issue ? Thank you for any help.
