Bump:

Anybody know about this ignition switch problem?

Any way to fix it easy?

i would start with plugs in the back. you may have a wire not plugged in right. to me it looks like its pulling more power than it should. also to when you touched the headlight switch all your lights blinked.

its not all that bad to change. heres a good how too. its for a 02, but it cant be all that different. Sparky's Answers: 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix, Changing The Ignition Switch

Id pay you to do it for me.
That looks like a headache.

 

[Scottydoggs]

once all the plastic is off its a harness that bolts under the dash, its coupled with the multi switch, aka blinker switch.

you stick a awl or pick in the tumbler re release hole to get the lock out, and swap the harness.

all the wires your playing with have plugs too, its not like your splicing it together.

To be honest I'm not sure what part exactly need to be replaced.

I just need my ac to work.
If theres an easy fix for it besides replacing the whole ignition
It would be better.

Something like plugging something back.

 

[Scottydoggs]

this is what you need to change, the round part on the box there is what the key turns to start the car.

see the box under the key hole in this pic, from sparky how to.

I have a switch out of a car with 32K

they dont seem to be cheap either. used would be a good route to go.

This junker gp i have sorta has the same problem, only difference is its the dash lights that die its a pain in the butt, & How the heck did you get a double din radio in there

 

[ericspecullaas]

^^ i second that i want to Double Din my radio too.

 

[raverockstar]

i guess i need to see a junk yard soon.

about the double din.all pioneer double din (6.5 inch screen) will fit there and i used plastic sheets for the sides and some plumbing thing to hold it inside.

 

[raverockstar]

So I tried to see which part is bad and touch parts of the wires.
When I hit this box with the screw driver my ac is back to work .
I hope it last.

 

[Scottydoggs]

probably a temp fix. but that narrows it down for sure.

 

[raverockstar]

I hope it will last forever. Or at least till I save up for a new car.

Thank you for your help.

Wow I'm so happy I almost forgot I got a ticket today.
