I have an ignition switch that loves to stick in the start position and stay there. While I admire the willingness of the old switch to want to get the engine going, it is overstepping its bounds. We just do a simple remove and replace of the ignition switch that was hanging up.......oh there might be a teaser at end of the tape........... My channel is for entertainment purposes only. Please don't repeat my shenanigans however epic they may be. Enjoy

I always wondered what that little stupid wire was for. Funny, watching your video really made my day. I learned something new.

Oh? Well glad you could get something out of my nonsense🙃

Hi Chris! Love the simple fix first approach. I don't know if you have ever seen Sling Blade, with Billy Bob Thornton, but there is a scene in there about three "mechanics" who couldn't figure out why a tiller wouldn't start, so they bring over "Karl Childers" who is supposed to be mentally challenged to look at it. The first thing he does is take off the gas gap and declare, "It ain't got no gas in it." Ever since then, I have referred to the process of checking the simplest possibilities first as the "Karl Childers Method." BTW, when I saw the "trailer" for the Ninety Eight, a reared up like a groundhog trying to see over the grass!

I don’t think I have. I’ll have to look it up later. I was told by my instructors to always check the easiest and most obvious things first. Glad you liked the Ninety-Eight teaser. Hoping it will please a lot of people. 🙂

A lot of work for such simple fix...well done as usual!!

The bloopers, so relatable. I'm surprised, but not ashamed to admit, I have literally never seen one of these ignition spring mechanisms.

To be honest Ford's ignition systems in this era was......"different" lol.

Mine was sticky in cold weather. Years ago, I took the gears out of the column and the grease they had used was hard as a rock and full of dirt. Cleaned that all out and lubed it all with silicone spray and it's been free and easy for years now. Never put a ignition switch in one of these, yet...LOL

@SwedeMachine 2 года назад

I had thought about tearing my upper column apart, but the switch seemed to be the only problem. The tumbler moves freely now. I’ll find out this winter if I need to pull the upper part off lol. Good call on that silicone spray. Lubes without attracting dirt. Exactly what I would have ✅👍🏼

@@SwedeMachine Mine worked smoothly until it was about 40 degrees out, then it was super hard to turn, always returned to run by itself though.

It's all a matter of knowing what to replace. Old iron is the future.

Great camera work! (Never seen that "from below" angle before.) Other RU-vidrs should take note. Also, great editing. A nice, compact, informative clip.

@SwedeMachine 2 года назад

I’m trying to get better at camera angles. Thanks for that feedback. It bugs me too that some RU-vid’ers don’t zoom in enough. Get in there show the audience what’s going on lol👍🏼

@@SwedeMachine Still won't start, must be starter, starter is 3 feet behind flywheel so how does bendex even engage with it? its an rv, already tapped on it...

@SwedeMachine 5 месяцев назад

Remember on Fords, you have a starter relay which is usually divorced from the starter and is located somewhere underneath the engine compartment. Is your starter relay integrated into your starter or is it separate? I would suspect the starter relay next as those contact points usually burn out overtime and is usually the source of no start condition

@@SwedeMachine Hard to find info on this, its a citation supreme m/h and usually I look up club wagon or e350 80-91, I saw where it might be in the neg cable at the battery...Its not in fuse box under left of steering wheel

@SwedeMachine 5 месяцев назад

Mmmm. It’s gonna be obvious if the starter solenoid is on the starter or not. If the solenoid is on the starter, you’re gonna have three or four wires going to it. If the starter solenoid is divorced and elsewhere from the starter, the starter will only have one wire going to it and that will be a big battery cable size wire.

My 1983 Ford f250 does that sometimes, but it doesn't start right away or crank over! It usually takes a second or 2 before it starts right up. Why is that? It has a new - starter -solenoid -altantor ignition switch
