Need help - which way does ignition switch turn?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Can't find the keys after 10 years...took the ignition switch off to remove cylinder. The brass pin won't come out unless I pick the lock, since I don't have keys.  Sitting here at the kitchen table trying to pick the lock. Hell, I don't even know which way it turns to keep pressure on it.

Hey Bryan,

hahaha very entertaining ! Reminds me of the situation, when I had repaired my fuel sending unit. Did again not work after some month. Unlike you it only last some month to forget ...

...did that just before the winter and everything worked great. After 3 or 4 month the Truck was sitting in the garage, I went to a first ride in early spring. The fuel gauge was dead !! Checked the cabling and connections. Nothing. Tried to move the float through the filler. Nothing.
Removed everything (gas tank, sending unit, cabling, gauge) out of the truck but found nothing. Oh boy, my nerves !
:confused:

One day later in the garage: lay under my dash, had everything installed again. Suddenly I got the brainstorm. Due to the kind of cabling, I simply had to turn the key in the ignition lock into the right instead of left (which I had forgotten over the winter months). Tata, I had a working gauge …:D
