Re: IML: 90 imperial no start issue AGAIN!!

Thanks Alan, That gives me an idea of another place to check. I have the service manual, so I can look it up. but thanks for the offer.
I thought it might not be the electrical part of the switch, only because it worked after I glued the original lock cylinder piece ( re-installing it into the original switch) but you may be right, it pretty much is the only thing I haven't replaced at this point.. I just hate to pay for it if I don't need it .. only available at the dealer, and about 97.00 with tax for the switch, I just paid over 100.00 for the cylinder and re-key..  but we gotta do what we gotta do...

Also Matt
I can dig out my FSM and look up the pin out for the switch, this will tell you what two wires in the switch engage the starter if this would help? It will take me a few day to find the FSM but some others may have the manual at hand, and can give info faster.
