Ignition switch

[DwayneOxford]

Losing ignition when in crank position.

Wanting to get contact cleaner into it.

Anybody know if it'd get in around the plastic actuator?

Wondering about drilling a hole between the B & S where white mark is, as they are far apart or between I & R as they're even farther apart.

Also like to know how far back to drill.

Can get one at Rock for $15 if I kill it.

Are you sure that is the problem? My second fuse in the fuse box  comes loose and I have to bend the tabs a little bit  to get a good connection,then it starts.I almost did what your fixing to do.My ac fuse use to do that,the fuse would come loose,and I would just push it in.

Not positive, but turned to ign. I oft have to wiggle switch to make contact. I'll check the fuse connection.

Must be switch.

I think I got contact cleaner by actuator and cycled several times, followed with CorrosionX. Gonna leave fuses be to try switch. Also CorrosionXed connectors and 4 way while apart.

I hope that works for you.

In process I figgerd out why tilt wheel was not staying up. Posted it on my old thread about it.
