Has anyone had problems with replacement ignition switches? I replaced mine in 2012 and now three years later I have a failed ignition switch. Fortunately, this time it failed in my driveway completely immobilizing (no spark... nadda). The pattern seems to be that high temps in the interior cause the plastic casing to split. I'm putting a "fail-safe" button in a discrete location that will start the car should this ever happen again.
If anyone has a source for quality ignition switch, please pass it on. Thanks. |
