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... |

Thanks to George aka ThePaintedMan my car is running again. He brought over a good ignition switch, I popped it in and she fired right up. I started looking at the oem switch and noticed the crack in the plastic, guessing that is what causes them to fail. Also, while I had the car apart I wired the passenger seat relay wires together just in case, so it wouldn't give me issues in the future. Thanks for all the help and suggestions!
Edit: car is now that much closer to being ready for the tropical rumble next month. |
