9.15.1 Ignition Key Switch

The ignition key switch (Fig. 9-78, 1) is located on the

lower right side of the front dash. It is a key-operated

switch used to start the engine and to run the vehicle.

Figure 9-78 Ignition Key Switch Location

When the key is inserted into the ignition key switch, the

switch can be turned clockwise from the OFF

(Fig. 9-78, 2) position to the RUN (3) and START (4)

positions. The START (4) position is spring-loaded to

return the switch to the RUN (3) position. This position

must be manually held in place for normal starting and for

ether (cold start option) to be injected into the cylinders.

In the OFF (Fig. 9-78, 2) position, the entire electrical

system is shut down, with power at the ignition switch

terminals and the starter solenoid only.

In the RUN (Fig. 9-78, 3) position, all controls and

indicators are operable.

When the park brake switch is ON and the transmission

is in (N) NEUTRAL, turning the ignition switch to the

START (Fig. 9-78, 4) position engages the starter to start

the engine and injects fuel into the cylinders.

If the key binds in the switch, check the key for defects

and the switch for foreign objects. Clean or remove foreign

material from the key as required. Check that the key is

not bent or excessively worn; replace a bent or worn key

with a new key.

Apply powdered graphite to the key, and insert and

withdraw the key from the switch several times to

distribute the graphite into the switch-lock mechanism.

During freezing temperatures, if the ignition key switch

fails to turn, or does not allow the key to be inserted,

warm the switch with a heat gun (blow-dryer), or use

liquid lock deicer to help evaporate frozen moisture from

within the switch.

IMPORTANT: Only use graphite or a liquid lock deicer

within the switch. Replace a defective switch.
