I've worked out plenty since my last post, but last night another mystery was solved that I thought I'd share - mainly for those with late 80s KC-KE Laser columns in Harrisons.
At the back of the ignition barrel you remove a philips head screw and the ignition switch comes out as a module with 5 wires attached. The 12v battery feed on mine had become quite brittle and the insulation was going brown. Doubledip suggested I check the resistance (very high) so I pulled the switch apart to see why. The brass points and contacts were severely pitted and corroded and I'm surprised anything worked at all.
Long story short, $50 bucks later and I'll have a new aftermarket ignition switch with loom and plug. This is a common problem so anyone looking for a replacement, contact Grant Walker Parts in Melbourne on 9762-7233. It's on eBay at the moment too.
