As it happens the ignition switch had been changed before also and replaced with an audi part.

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.

I just replaced the electronic ignition switch with help of a tutorial on the DIY Rennlist forum... I barely fit upside down in the footwell but managed to to contort myself and get the job done for $8.95.
Im pumped to tackle the next project with help from this great forum.
Cheers and neck pains
Way to go! Isn't it satisfying doing this stuff yourself? Plus all the money you save... I gotta say, being able to DIY a lot of stuff is one of the big unknown bonuses of these cars. When I was still talking my wife into letting me get one, that was her big concern (after the expense of keeping up a high mileage MB)... but every time I do a DIY I show her what it cost and what it should have cost and that helps to support my reason for getting one.
Nice job!

Barn996.... Cheers! finished off a Guiness 4 pack. Neck is good today.
Rudy.... very satifying indeed. The ignition was gettin more and more difficult to turn then friday afternoon I pulled the key outta the ignition and the electronics stayed on... So it was either wait for my Indy to reopen on Monday of do a quick search and fix it myself. Glad I have that experience under my belt. Next up, brake pads and oil change this weekend.
Redridge..... RMS/IMS whats that???
I suppose that DIY is the grail. Im going to wait on the upgrade until I install a lift in my warehouse. One thing at a time.
I just did my ignition switch too after a couple of intermittent no starts. The job was easier than it looks. Took the switch apart and it had destructed just like Toolpants on RennTech had shown. You can see how the broken part jams the contact and bends the spring.
One unexpected plus of the replacement switch is a quicker crank speed.
I had to replace mine a few moths back as well and returning the fixture back to its original position was tricky since the previous owner managed to break off the alignment tabs on that particular light.
As it happens the ignition switch had been changed before also and replaced with an audi part. The part I replaced the audi part with was a VW... exactly the same part but cheaper by $7.00.
she is an attention ho. low cut shirt to show the cleveage she doesnt have, skinny tummy sticking out. That still didnt get the skanks pix taken so she took apart the copier and got all dirty.
