Thanks again Tiger. You're always on the job, I'm
happy to say.
Installing the switch was very easy but I now have
trouble with the locks.
After I installed the switch, I put the steering
lock back into its holder and the
pin popped out through the hole. Then I followed
the instructions for reassembling the lock. e.g.
putting it into its screw cap with the detent
aligned with the slot inside the cap. Next I
inserted the key, turned it to position 1 and
pushed the release wire through the little hole on
the rim all the way in. I looked at it from the
back of the lock and the pin was in the correct
place.
I aligned the lock with its holder, placed it in
its slot and screwed the cap until it reached the
end. Next I pulled the wire out and rotated back
the cap until the detent released - it was just
one turn. The key was still in position 1 but it
would not turn.
On a few occasions I found the car in a similar
position with the key stuck at position 0 and just
jerking the steering wheel released it and allowed
it to turn and start the car. The present
situation seems to be the reverse.
I pushed the car back and forth a little (with the
key in position 1) while turning the steering
wheel and it was not locked at all.
Seems like I messed it up somewhere.
Hhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllpppppppppppppppppp!
