1G Anyone know how to....Ignition Switch Cable

[Meech Meimaris]

Does any one know how to replace an ignition switch on a 1Ga-1Gb Talon?

Looks simple enough, are there any pitfalls? Any videos on how to do this? Searched on you tube but I may not be asking the right thing in the search bar. Any help is appreciated.

To get out the ignition switch you have to drill it out. Its a pain IMO. What worked better for me...I unplugged the cables and turned it into a push start, fairly simple if you search.

Thanks, Its a race car so I guess a push button start works for me. Never thought to do that. Any ideas which push button system would work?

Any push button works. Youll need a few switches to turn on the accessories, fan, etc, but its pretty straight forward. All the push button does is engage the starter.

Yes, thanks, I was thinking the same thing, since I asked the question, I went and purchased a few things to go on the Carbonetics Dash:

Where is the ignition switch, aka cylinder, at? Still in the column? I was under the assumption that the OP lost his keys.

 

[Meech Meimaris]

OP lost his mind, not his keys!

Will attempt switch just to get it running like DStarperformance pointed out, then convert it all to racing switch like LiveDSM4G63 recommended.

 

[livedsm4g63]

Ah! You need the electrical portion of the ignition switch! Yeah, no drilling required. However, if its a race car and you want to save money, just back trace the wires and use those for your switches. Beats having to by the electrical portion of the switch Saving monies!

 

[Dstarperformance01]

Key and tumbler then, NOT IGNITION SWITCH. I was going by terminology. They are completely different, but yes if it's a key issue(lost or whatever) then it will need to be drilled or have a locksmith make another key for you.
