[DML] Re: Question about the ignition system

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The ignition switch itself does not seem to be a high failure item. Of
course if someone modified the wiring and created too large a current
draw through the ignition switch all bets are off. The lock part of
the ignition switch is subject to wear. Do not force the key, do not
use a cheap aluminum blank which can break and do not force the key,
always insert it in at the correct angle. Regular lubrication will
help a lot. If the ignition switch itself failed electrically you
could jump it out by unplugging it and using paper clips, "hot wire"
the car. You would still need the key to unlock the steering wheel so
you could turn the wheels.
