Ignition Switch Problem, Geo Metro
New ignition switch?
1990 Geo Metro. When I bought the car, the tip of the ignition key had already broken off inside the switch, and remains there. No problems until yesterday when I parked, switched the car off, took the *key* out .... and the car continued to run.* Even when I can kill the engine (car in gear, foot on the brake, let the clutch out), the dash lights remain on. (I was advised NOT to allow this *dash lights on* condition to continue too long at any one time due to possible coil/car damage: advice I have taken.) New ignition switch? (In this case, a *universal* key/ignition switch for $10, since the replacement switch for the Geo is $140.) Harry Truman *Actually, once or twice prior to the above problem and while the car was running, the keys fell out of the switch and the car continued to run. Weird. |
