The ignition switch on my 76 seems to be sticking when I try and start the car. To get the starter to stop, I have to switch it off and on again.
I took off the wheel. As I was taking off the wiper and turn signal switches, I noticed that they seemed different. Did they change these from earlier cars? I think my 73s are different. Anyone know? TIA. |

There are 3 different styles:
Early- '70 - Mid 72? Median- Late '72 to '74 Late - '75 & '76 The late ones are about $5 at Pelican To get to it ... there are 5 allen head bolts on the steering columun (bottom) ... 4 hold the assembly to the dash frame. There is one single that mounts the turn signal/washer assembly to the steering housing. Pull the steering wheel. Pull a "C" shaped clip off the steering shaft. It's soft and will bend (remember to put it back when reassembling). Take out the single allen head fastner on the steering column. The entire assembly will now slide off the shaft with a little coaxing. The wires / washer feed tubes are long enough to pull it without disconnecting the harness or disassebly of the wiper/washer/ turn signal / headlight switch. Once the assembly is off you will see the small screw that hold the plastic portion of the ignition switch in. Pull the connector, pull the switch and replace. I took one completely apart like you do the Median assembly only to find the above out ... what a PITA. |
