I suggest you take pictures of the inside of the ign switch and
more; do a Tech write up and put it all on TigersUnited.

Subject: [Tigers] Ignition Switch
I pulled apart my ignition switch. It was pretty easy. As indicated, just
pry out two of the points on the can that are pressed in, hold towel to
finger to stop bleeding from screwdriver slipping out of indentation point
and into the finger, put switch in vice, lightly clamping around nut, and
finish last indentation point.
Put in key, press ice pick in hole in side to release lock barrel.
Pull apart.
The switch is much more beefy than I expected. It has a strong spring and
is built of large, thick metal for contacts. I'm actually kind of surprised
that it has any issue. But, I've cleaned it up and sanded all the contacts.
I basically put a piece of fine sandpaper in between each of the three
contact points and rotated the sandpaper back and forth, and rotated the
contact to each of the three positions to get each one. This probably makes
no sense unless you have one open in your hands. I was thinking of dremel,
but none of my attachments are small enough to fit in there.
I'm also cleaning and sanding the tabs out the back that the wires attach
to. _______________________________________________
