where was the ignition switch, in the steering column or on the dashboard?
The switches having trouble, all makes, are the ones in the steering column.
It’s not a car problem, it’s a dumb shit driver problem!
Steering column. 1979 model. Bought it used in ‘89 and drove it till ‘05. Never had a problem with it or the humonguous keychain I carried due to work responsibilities. Never gave it a second thought.
I’m sure I’m not the only person who’s ever had a really heavy keychain in the past. This can hardly be a new ‘problem’. Why are the switches all of a sudden intolerant of big keychains? Keys are even lighter now than they were in the 1980’s.
Several of my coworkers had even bigger keychains. Nobody wanted the master key to the department as that carried responsibilities we really didn’t want at that point (any time anything came up missing in the department office (money, copier paper, anything) you’d be on the list of suspects if you had a master key. So we didn’t have master keys.
