Excellent presentation! I was an instructor for thirty years and don't believe I ever heard anyone as articulate as you are. There was not a single pause, such as searching for a word and your pace was perfect. You should be a college professor! Our situation is a bit different in that the engine will not turn off, even with the key removed. We disconnected the battery to shut down the engine and, also, the panel lights were remaining illuminated. Best of luck from out here in Idaho and we definitely owe you a beer!

[@Irotten]

My 1996 K1500 had was not shifting, the Tach/Speedometer quit and the gear indicator was out. Ordered this part and replaced the starter switch and it fixed it all. The video is spot on. A couple things to add. No need to remove the snap ring. While not necessary to remove the steering wheel it really gives you room to work if you do. Also pay attention to the direction he is using the screwdriver to remove the airbag. The E-4 star bit can be found at O'riley auto parts. They are a slender 1/4 inch drive socket set of 5 and will fit to take off the two screws holding the switch on. Disassembly took a few because I had never done it but reassembly only took about 30 minutes. Not that hard to do and will save you money by not having someone else do it.

[@5150on420]

Removing the steering wheel and messing with the airbag is an unnecessary step while replacing the ignition switch. The rest of this video is step-by-step exactly how the process should be done.

[@kicknsystm]

I was wondering about that. I replaced the key/tumbler assembly without pulling the wheel so I was going leave it unless necessary on this little job too. I was actually going to comment/inquire about it until I saw your post. Thanks.

[@DannyKellaher21]

Great video! Helped me a lot especially with the key cylinder. Skip removing the steering wheel, no need even with airbag(mine has one). Also, if you are patient and careful, you can open the switch and clean the contacts and reassemble. Worked for me and saved $120.

[@danhammond8406]

If your having transmission trouble, check fuse 20 in the dash fuse pannel. If theres no power supplied to that fuse then your ignition switch has failed.

[@daleeverhart3308]

97 K1500 Tach and Speedo dead this definitely is the fix. Easy enough to diagnose. Put a test light on #20 fuse if no power to transmission this is likely why. Not too hard to do recommend buying E4 and E5 deepwell 1/4 inch set. You don't need to remove the steering wheel.

[@dixiehandyman]

I have a 95 diesel and one day I went to start it up and nothing. I had zero issues with speedo transmission etc. I waited a push button switch up and that worked great for a few weeks. Then my glow plug light stopped working and it was crank city no start. I checked voltage on the harness weird and one has zero current. I will be picking up that e4 bit tomorrow and finishing this job. Hopefully that does the trick. Really want to get the new tires back running...

Another great, thorough tutorial. My son’s 98 Silverado keeps poppin’ the “IGN-1” fuse (@fuse box under hood). I’ve inspected the fuse box and the underneath side, no signs of burns or corrosion. Could a faulty ignition switch assembly be the culprit? Or, is there something else I should investigate. Thanks.

[@rebjimj.e.4119]

Question: Can a bad ignition switch cause an intermittent problem where the alternator does not charge but vehicle will still crank and start? I have this problem on my truck and neither myself nor 3 mechanics have been able to figure out what's going on. It has new alternator, battery etc...problem still randomly happens, which then causes trans computer to not power and truck is stuck in 1st gear with battery discharging. A friend said ignition switch could be the cause... Fun times.

[@jeffreysenior]

Easy test if it is your ignition switch is not working . If you’re tac. does not work, speedometer is not working properly, shift indicator light is not working, and your transmission is not shifting or stuck in 3rd. Here’s what you do to test your ignition switch. With the engine running, hit the back of the Key and drive into the ignition switch. It might take a few sharp hits but see if your tech starts working. If it works I believe everything else will too. This procedure confirms your ignition switch is bad. It comes as an assembly wiring harness. I just ordered a wiring harness through (1A Auto )for $37 and will be putting it in shortly I believe this will cure of my problem.

[@1AAuto]

+Jeffrey Pabian Thanks for the interesting tip and continued support, Jeffrey!

What if the truck wont start bit it cranks i already changed the spark plugs and coils aslo the fuel pump and filter i haven't changed my ignotion switch even though it says it on the computer will reprogram the ignition swith when i get a new one ? Also do i have to change the ignition harness aswell?

Hi my problem is the key switch { sound} and exterior lights stay on after the key is out and off , do i replace the ignition switch or the key cylinder ? please help .

[@lh98]

Can a bad ignition switch cause the starter to crank before I turn the key all the way? In “on” or “run” mode it starts cranking the engine and won’t stop unless I turn the key off. I think the starter is staying on and squealing when the engine starts. It literally starts to crank before I turn the key to start it. So weird.

@@1AAuto I just did it on my 2000 K 2500 and the my biggest problem was getting the torques 4 screws out holding the switch in. I didn't have any access to a long and extended one and a shorty was all i had so I literally had to grind it down. But I didn't take the steering wheel off. I really didn't want to, lol

Reinstalling the old part? Was this a misdiagnosis? We would appreciate if you shared that information so we could avoid a mistake.

+Earth Tones Thanks for watching! This was not a misdiagnosis, we just created this video to show you how to perform this repair! The ignition switch works with the lock cylinder power on and start the vehicle, so if the switch fails it can cut power to the ignition and fuel system. If the switch is bad then the most common symptom is the vehicle starts up and stalls suddenly. 1aauto.com

Can a bad ignition switch cause my rpm needle not move?

+Aye Are Tee Ello Peaz We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
