Re: IML: 90 IMP key Ingition

Those ignition switch assemblies can be troublesome.  They are readily 
available at your jobber parts store.  About $50 for the one I bought.  You 
can change out the lock tumbler so your OEM key will still work.  Read the 
directions and don't force it and break something (like I did).  Once you 
get the hang of it, they are easy to take apart and reassemble.

Subject: IML: 90 IMP key Ingition


Help never seen this befor. was driving today in my 90 IMP, and the Elec 
system (IE.AC windows, radio, turn-signals all stopped working. them warning 
lights on dash come on ( IE airbag, ABS brake and so on) then the warning in 
the overhead console starts sayen crazy stuff like my turn-signal is on, and 
the key is in the ignition. so i figger i better stop and see what's up. 
well here the kick in the rubber parts, I can't shut the car off, the key 
will not turn back(off) just forward to engage starter. and as i sit there 
she starts to over heat, as the fans are not running. I finely pulled the 
coil wire to kill the motor. I'm hopping it the ignition key in the column 
and some wires in it have went south. It use to get very hot on the bottom 
just behind the wheel.  How's got some ideas,
