New to online forums and 914's...
I'm about to replace the ignition switch in my 1974 1.8L. I've done a little bit of reading online and I think I'm ready to dig in. If anyone wants pictures of something specific or has comments about what I'm doing, please leave a reply. Right now: - Starter tested okay - Safety belt system jumped - How to instructable from Pelican Parts - Switch on order from AutoAtlanta I think I'll get everything taken apart while I wait on parts. I'm also thinking about having new keys made... that's another topic. Take Care... |

I had a problem with my 914 not starting every now and then. It turned out the be the actual cylinder and not the electrical part in the back. The piece on the switch that goes into the electrical part wore out on mine and wouldn't turn the switch far enough to start. This can also happen with some of the "cheap" replacement switches, since they don't fit as snug in the steering column as the originals. |
