Ignition/ Switch Starting Issues
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:01 pm
Hi Guys,
I sure could use some help. My '81 Vanagon won't start with the key. However, if I pull the ignition switch down from the ignition and turn it with a screwdriver, it'll start right up.
I think the problem is that the end of the ignition (new) is not penetrating the ignition switch (new) to turn the engine over.
(igntion switch is seated firmly) It is either that, or the ignition & key doesn't allow me to turn the ignition switch far enough to engage the starter.
Has anyone had this problem?
Very confused.
Thank you in advance for your help!
