Ignition switch initiation
I just swapped out the ignition switch in my Suburban to remedy the hackjob previously performed on it and found it to be a little challenging. The basic installation was quite easy but getting it adjusted was not! I had to leave the mounting bolts VERY loose to get it to adjust so that the starter portion would operate with the key (had to pull the assembly toward myself). I'm just hoping this post will help others with similar situations.
Also, if your switch quits activating the starter, you might check the adjustment before putting in a new switch. I think that may be what happened to the previous owner because they rigged up a hot wire to touch to the starter wire to run the starter. Probably couldn't get the switch adjusted and just gave up and went all redneck on it.
Hope this will help somebody
