Ignition Switch

Craig Norton of the Bay 912 group sent some pictures that he took while rebuilding the ignition switch on his 1969 912.

He bought a used ignition switch from Parts Heavenand took both apart and moved the tumbler mechanism from the old to the new so the old key could be used.

	The diagram of the switch.
	A lot of current can go through this switch, particularly at start up. Over time the switch can become high resistance.
	The retainer clip has to come off.
	Remove the rear connector.
	The contactor slides across the contacts on the back of the connector.
	Under the contactor is a plastic piece.
	Finally the tumbler can be removed.
