Maybe not
the car may not start even with a new switch

when i turn the key all the lights go out like there suppose to and the starter cranks weakly, but evrey third time or so the lights go out and the starter doesn't go. if i jumper the solinoid on the starter to the battery it starts instantly(and the starter sounds stronger, but i could be hearing things), evrey time, this would be a problem with the ignition. As it is worn out on my car i would just as soon replace the switch and maybe the lock cylinder while i'm in there. As far as i know the svx doesn't have a starter relay. so the ignition switch is bad.
so got any idea how hard it is to remove/install or what... thanks for the useful comment

It's not hard to replace...do a search on "ignition switch"....there are pics also in one of the threads. There are security screws on this device that only allow you to tighten so far, then I think they break..I'll have to check.

That certainly doesn't sound batteryish to me LOL If it is, I would like to have a "bad battery" like yours, maybe at least to start my SVX on a cold morning Last edited by kwren; 11-15-2007 at 11:06 AM. |

Might swing by the neighborhood auto parts store and pick up a Bosch relay for stock in case you need one anytime soon! LOL Take care and hope it all works out soon. Keith |
