When i turned my key it used to do nothing then after a while just click. I got a new starter and the clicking went away and I just turn the key and it does nothing but drain any 12v ignition ACC heres a vid of what happens 0321061419 - Putfile.com ... as you can see the voltage is 12.6 more than enough to start.... and its not doing anything other than trying to take power from my 12v ignition ACC heres a vid of it actually starting 0321061423 - Putfile.com I have to angle the key and turn it very hard to start it ... I have an idea of a part to replace and ive been told by a Mitsu tech these are common to go bad.

I think i finally fixed it! I had started a new thread about going the push button starter route and I finally got around to doing it today. I finished not too long ago and it works like a charm. The starter sounds really healthy and doesn't crank slow like before.

I've replaced my ign switch before and it didn't fix anything but I think I finally fixed the problem for good by going the push button route.
