Ignition switch

Has any one noticed they can have the engine running and pull the key out of the ignition while running cause I just put a new switch in and that's why I changed it . But the key still comes out . Happy new year to every one ! Regards .

I think that was a security device...you could warm up your truck in the winter, get out and lock your door, so no one would steal it....dunno

Re: Ignition switch

To tell you truth I was thinking my ignition switch was worn out but not sure and was looking to see how many others would respond with the same curiosity. I'm still betting on bad switch . Any one else ?.

Re: Ignition switch

Nope, your right! Just checked, and my key doesnt come out. Good thing i didnt bet you. Probably just the tumbler assembly, wonder if you can buy that part still.

Lock Doc would be the person to PM
