So that weekend I replaced the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition switch, and at first the same thing was happening. Then the next day everything seemed to be working fine. That was for about a week, now this week it's doing the same thing. The only thing I can think of doing now is replacing the wire harness that goes to the ignition switch. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks in advance. zmame Veteran / Moderator Feb 23, 2011, 3:46 PM Post #2 of 3 (1520 views) Re: Can't figure out Ignition problem Sign In Do you have an autostart system in it by chance? mtoufar New User Feb 24, 2011, 1:38 PM Post #3 of 3 (1510 views) Re: Can't figure out Ignition problem Sign In No, I don't have that or an alarm or stereo system. Nothing that would mess with the electrical system. I've talked to a couple people and I'm going to check the engine grounds and check to see if there are any wires crossed.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
