I would suggest putting the old switch back in for testing and see if your "wiggle test" makes the lights work again.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link
Well, I replaced the part, (key turns much smoother now) but the headlights are now still not turning on and now the wiggle trick doesn't work anymore.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello! I've been searching for keywords of headlights / ignition switch to try and diagnose this problem for a couple weeks now. I found to replace the ignition switch and noticed while I waited for the part to wiggle the key and the headlights turned on. Well, I replaced the part, (key turns much smoother now) but the headlights are now still not turning on and now the wiggle trick doesn't work anymore. Any ideas on what I should do?

I would suggest putting the old switch back in for testing and see if your "wiggle test" makes the lights work again. If so you may have gotten a defective new ignition switch right out of the box.
