I just followed Pelican Parts excellent instructions to replace my failing Ignition Switch ('74 LE, 242K miles). Replacement Switch Beck Arnley P/N 201-1076 from FLAPS DID NOT FIT, needed modification to install. Found this out, of course, when lower dash and steering column were disassembled to remove old switch.
All seems fine now, though my turn signal cancelling feature now needs some TLC. Attached File(s)

There was a ton of aftermarket (cheaply made) ignition switches that people were replacing and having fail within in 1-2 months....
I thought the problem had gotten better recently but has been going on for 10 years. porsche started selling the switch again and the consensus was that all of the aftermarkets were crap... and the factory one at 3 times the price was the only one that was trouble free. there must be 50 threads about this on this site. you may want to order a factory one for your next try brant |
