ignition switch?

So I still have my SVX so far. Some may remember I was having some issues. I finally got the tps set. It was reading off because of a bad ground on the intake manifold. would read at 1.0+something instead of .50 and would switch back and forth as ground no ground. Now I had other issues. the passenger window wont go down or anything. master switch is broken for passenger side. Window did work then stopped one day. And the cruise control was acting funny also shifting funny to. Also when I was having problems the engine kept on running after the key was turned off(did this only once before), and the key needs jiggled for the auto seat belt to go back.


Well the only problems I still have are the window which I dont care about right now, and the ignition switch is worn down (I believe). I got home today and the car kept running after I turned off and removed the key. So is there a good place to get the ignition switch for a resonable price, and can someone point me to a how to if there is one. Thanks -Shawn

you need to remove the old one and get it coded at the dealer ship so that you dont have 2 diffrent keys

I thought there was a switch behind the key part? are you sure you have to do that because I know I can buy the switch for like 30 dollars, just wanted to see if there was a how to on removing the old one, and putting in a new one. Seeing as how theres so many wont start issues with the ignition switch, I thought there would be a write up on removal and installation.
