I'm using a 3 position (Off, Start, Run) ignition switch in my Cobra. It has four wires going to it.
I bought the first one from Finishline when I built the car. I had the car on the road since March 2008. I had to replace it in November 2008 because it wouldn't stay in the "run" position all the time. At times, it would turn itself off if I hit a bump or even accidentally bumped the key.
I ordered another one from Finishline, same part number as before (S-IG) and now this one won't release from the "start" postion by itself, I have to turn it to the "run" position after it starts.
I'm not bad mouthing Finishline by any means, I have very good luck with all the other stuff I got from them & their customer service is great!
But, I'd like to replace the switch with a better one that'll last longer. Any suggestions on where to buy one of better quality?
Also, my strong suit isn't car wiring, a friend of mine installed the harness for me. So, will I be able to hook the wires up to the same terminals on the new switch? I know which wire goes on which terminal, will the new switch have the same configuration or will I have to figure out which wire goes where? The friend that did my harness has moved out of state.
Any help you guys can give me would be great.
Thanks,
Randy
