Hey All!
So last night I come back to my SB sitting in the parking lot. It's well past sundown and there's condensation all over the car.
Key in the ignition, try to start and nothing.
Three tries later and it fires right up.
Now considering I'm an electrical engineer and I rewired the car myself, I know that this is due to the ignition switch contacts not functioning properly. Dirty contacts, or (probably) condensation inside the ignition switch.
That said, it's a Lucas ignition switch, bought new from Sunbeam Specialties about 3 years ago.
Anybody had a similar problem, or can suggest a better quality ignition switch substitution?
Thanks,
Jerry
