Re: Ignition Switch

Get a voltmeter and check the wires at the ignition cylinder. You should find at least 1 wire that is 12v all the time, 1 wire that is 12v in the 'run position' and when cranking (ignition wire), 1 wire that is 12v at acc and at run, but not at crank (radio acc), 1 wire that is 12v at acc, run and crank (blower acc), and 1 wire that is 12v at crank only (starter wire). If you find all those wires, primarly the one that has 12v at crank, you know it's not your ignition cylinder, as it's dristributing power the way it should. Look for loose/broken wires on your starter.

When you say 'it doesn't start', do you mean that it doesn't crank at all, or that it cranks, but never catches?
