Title: ignition switch
Post by: dam088888 on 19 September 2011, 15:13

Hi all got an intermittent fault sometimes when I start car it goes straight off with immobileliser active but only sometimes so I take key out lock unlock then normally starts so after some searching may be ignition switch so of I get a second hand one to try is it a straight swap for mine or will it need codeing to car or any thing or should I get a second hand barrel with swicth and key or will that need codeing too not to sure what to do as don't want it to happen then not start at all and be stuck. So try get it sorted before it stops all together

Could also be a weak battery in your key

From what I remember, removing the ignition switch is a complete pain in the arse  :angry:

Fairly sure it will need coding too
