Woah, next time start recording before it’s all disassembled. Unfortunately this may be the best video on YT about how to replace an ignition switch in a Tacoma. Someone make a better How To on this topic, please!
Sorry, I wasn't trying to record, but I decided to make a video last minute to try to help someone else. But now that I finally decide to create content to help people, I will be showing the whole entire process of doing it
What was the symptoms of the bad switch , mine crank does not start , the accessories lights are on , and before it cut out completely, I was not able to put in the truck in drive , I think I have a bad switch , not sure about being stacked in park if that is a symptom or not ?
Sorry just saw your message, there are several symptoms associated with ignition switch. Crank and no start can be one of them. However additional testing is required to rule out that it is indeed the switch. Start by checking to see things like window s if they operate when the switch is on on position. Scan for codes to see if any codes are present. Also check to see all lights on the dash comes on when the key is on on position. Go to all datadiy and look up the wiring diagram to the ignition switch and go to your fuse box and test the ends of those wires that are supposed to be fed by the ignition switch to see if they receive power when the switch is on. If they dont, remove the steering cover to access the switch connector. Using a long electric wires, to extend your volt metere probes, test each end of the wire from the switch end to the fuse box end to make sure there is good continuity in the wire that come from the on circuit of the switch. If there is, then the switch is bad. If they don't you have a bad switch. Mine was a no crank no start
