Pulled my ignition switch today, found one of the two screws holding the mechanical and electrical parts together was missing. Installed both screws now the switch is working. BUT when I got the switch out there was a red wire with a female spade on it that came loose from somewhere.
Tested all the circuits, the only thing not working now is the turn signals, so I think the red wire has something to do with them. The color of the wire is red, I opened the harness connector, the wire has a "R" cast into the plug. When I turn the switch to the on position the red wire is hot. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Don |

Not sure if that wire is coming or going from your switch but it may be the radio power wire if its a small red wire. Maybe the radio has its own power wire from a prev owner and you are just sending 12v + to any open term that looks likely?
This was created from a very bad fax from John Lowe years ago when my wires came out of my ign switch connector, worked for me, use at your own risk John (IMG:http://www.primafoundry.com/cars/Images/9146ignswitch.jpg) |
