ok guys so i have looked on line and read posts im still not sure to im asking the experts heres my problem. When you go to cycle the key it gos to run the radio will come on and the windows work the key will turn all the way to start but nothing happens. The dash lights do not come on like they normally would and the fuel pump is not running either. The security light is not coming on so i dont think its the VATs system im pretty sure by what i read its the ignition switch but do i need to change both or just the switch any help to figure out what one or if i should change both would be great. Thank you in advance Jeremy

 

You would need to do some investigation to see if the movement of the key cylinder is providing the necessary movement at the switch. If so, the switch needs to be replaced (or the connector to the switch is not making good contact). Ignition switch replacement is quite common. If you have read other threads you probably came across a guide for replacement on my Tech Page.

 

Yes i have seen and read it. Thanks for the great sight BTW. Was just making sure i had all the right parts to change it and wasnt missing anything that it could be just didnt want to get a key cylinder if i didnt need one sence i was told you cant return it. Plan on ordering the parts monday need to get my baby back on the road.

 

Shoebox thanks for the great tech page just changed out my switch today took me about 3 hrs and its back to burning the tire. I left a nice celebratory patch leaving the driveway thanks again.
