From what I understand, changing only the switch may fix your problem, but only temporarily requiring another switch replacement later.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello fellow RLers I�m having a strange issue with my ignition switch / tumbler. When I start the car the key does not return back to the neutral position it stays fully to the right. I can turn it back to the left slightly and all seems normal with the car. I�m thinking it�s the actual tumbler. I have no issues removing or inserting the key. Anyone else ever have this issue? I changed out the ignition switch a couple of years ago.

POST 2Original post

It�s the switch not the tumbler. Sounds counterintuitive I know, but that switch has fingers in all kinds of pies and causes weird ****. Like Bermuda Triangle weird ****. Throw some graphite in the key and pop it in. See what happens.

POST 3Original post

I’d replace the whole ignition lock assembly with the updated design. From what I understand, changing only the switch may fix your problem, but only temporarily requiring another switch replacement later. Eventually, the ignition lock may get damaged. Ignition lock will come with a new switch also. Not really much more work to replace the lock assembly.

Thanks Atrox. Order a switch today will give that a shot. Cheap fix.

Good point tomcat! Since the switch is only $10, I'll give that a go. But look to change out the ignition lock in the future.

POST 6Original post

The actual ignition assembly replacement is quite involved so I�d agree throwing a cheap switch at it first makes more sense. https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...ering_Lock.htm
