97 SW1 Ignition switch ???
97 SW1, 171,000 miles, 275200 kilometers.
The tumbler on the ignition switch has been messed up for a couple of years now (where you have to fight it to get the key in the ignition slot). But just today, I noticed that the alarm bell (ding?) stays engaged when I remove the key and open the driver's side front door. I'm guessing that the ignition switch is now messed up to the point that it thinks it's still got the key inserted into it, even though the key is removed. Probably time for a new or used ignition switch module. Has anyone else had similar problems with their ignition switch? Thanks for the help, SW1 |

Google is your friend. http://groups.google.com/groups/sear...&qt_s=S earch If that URL doesn't work properly by clicking on it, go to groups.google.com and do an advanced search in group rec.autos.makers.saturn for the words 'ignition cylinder'. And since I have posted on this issue in the past and don't feel like re-typing it every time the question comes up: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...f7ed16 21364c http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...2fadb1 9bd8d4 Lane [ lane (at) evilplastic.com ] --- Visit my Saturn Car Audio and Performance Page at http://www.evilplastic.com > wrote in message ... > 97 SW1, 171,000 miles, 275200 kilometers. > > The tumbler on the ignition switch has been messed > up for a couple of years now (where you have to fight > it to get the key in the ignition slot). > > But just today, I noticed that the alarm bell (ding?) > stays engaged when I remove the key and open the driver's > side front door.
