    Ignition Switch connected screwed

    Ok I was replacing my ignition switch in the brick today and I got a nice little surprise. The old one was still plugged into the connector and I see the connector is all cracked up. Well I am getting a bad feeling. So I take the old one off and the connector just crumbles. SHIT. So it was still intact alittle so I plugged it into the new switch. Yeah no go, it turned everything on but then when I hit the switch to fire it up and the power just left everything. I switch it back to run or accessory and barely any power. Everything is dime, the door chime was even quiet and the presets in the radio are lost. I guess I am not as mad as I usually would be cause I wasn't the one that broke it for once.lol

    Ok Now I replaced my ignition switch cause it almost left me stranded at blockbuster and it did the same thing everything was dim and I jared it enough that it worked. Ever since then it has be a crap shoot to get it to run or not.

    I guess my question is where do I get a new connector? Are there new ones for sale or do I have to go to the boneyard? I doubt the current one is salvageable I included some pics of it to see what you guys think. Thanks all!

        wow, that thing really cracked up. Doesn't look like it got hot. Wonder if someone replaced it in the past and busted the connector. Could you tell if the screws were replaced? Usually the factory ones are a wierd round head thing that needs a bolt remover socket to pull, the replacements are standard security bit torx.

            I would say get one at a junkyard if you can. Maybe something online like Teamfordparts would have it?

              Yeah I ordered one thanks guys. Yeah Gadget it did have torx bit screws holding it on. I thought it was original cause it was a fomoco part I guess how else would it be busted up like that. No melting of the plastic which is good.
