Last September, I pushed my teener off the trailer when I got back from RRC. I put a new starter on it and it still would barely turn over and not start. I've left it to sit since then but today I thought I'd see if I could figure out why it wouldn't start.
I put the key in the ignition and nothing; not even a grunt. But the second time I tried I inadvertently jiggled the key and it turned over the best so far. Light bulb went off in my noggin. I pulled the column and found a cracked ign switch. Got another one from NAPA and put it all back together. Fired right up and went for a drive. Damn that felt good!!!! Sorry to all that had to push start me at RRC. |

Nice when it is a simple fix. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Not that opening up the column is something I want to do any time soon.

Surprising enough, the steering column isn't as bad as it sounds.
I agree Rick. Never thought a Flaps would have it. |
