Ignition Switch

Disconnect ignition switch harness connectors. Using DVOM, check for continuity between switch terminals with switch in specified position. See appropriate IGNITION SWITCH CONTINUITY table. If continuity is not as specified, replace ignition switch. See IGNITION SWITCH & COLUMN LOCK under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
