I made some more progress on the 77 Gremlin today. Since I have it running good, I could begin to address a fairly long list of sqawks. I have been starting it using my underhood starter switch (jumped from hot lead on the solenoid to the S terminal). That's not too convenient to do all the time, so I thought I would fix the ignition switch. After ruling out the neutral/start switch in the auto transmission (which works as designed) and testing for voltage at the S terminal when using the ignition key, plus tracing and out wires, I looked at the ignition switch. A previous owner had installed an ignition switch from a tilt column car. After replacing that switch with a known good used switch for a standard column, I still had no joy. The steering column had a 1/8 to 1/4 inch gap between the top section and the shift collar. After adjusting the ignition switch on the column numerous times I finally realized that the gap was not allowing the ignition switch to actuate all the way to the 'start" position. After correcting that, the ignition switch works as designed. As I was putting it all back together the brittle plastic on the turn signal switch broke so I need to get a replacement before I finish the repair. All in all a good day though. And Jeff Gordon won again. Joe Fulton Salinas, CA _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
