Dave, if you have an ammeter, try taking it out of the circuit =E2=80=93 =
put both leads on the same stud or use a jumper. Seems strange that it =
would fail intermittently, but they have been known to fail.

Finally was able to sit down and test the switch with my multi meter. =
Looks like the ignition wire (i.e., power to the system) is where the =
problem is.
=20
Fortunately that extra ignition switch was not expensive. I =
don=E2=80=99t mind having a spare!
=20
Now to track that wire and the problem!!
=20
Thanks so much for everyone=E2=80=99s help.

Scott Harper had one for $14 plus shipping, including keys. =

Contact Scott Harper @ Team Triumph 330-392-7176 Warren, Ohio. Best to =
call after 11 am. He may well have a good used switch and maybe the =
correct key number and or with keys.
The switch looks identical to the switch in my 4A.

I=E2=80=99m not at all surprised =E2=80=93 the ignition switch in my TR4 =
is not exactly stock. It might be a TR switch but ?????
=20
Anyone recognize this switch?
=20
I took it out of the mounting today, and individually pulled off the =
connectors, cleaning what I could and spraying it with an electronic =
component cleaner. Anyone seen a tool to clean the inside of those =
junction clips? I can clean the tab but how to you clean the female =
version that is attached to the wires?
=20
Here is what is happening =E2=80=93 every now and then the car will get =
power when you turn the key, and start. Mostly you get nothing, like a =
disconnected battery. No power to anything. So I=E2=80=99m thinking =
it=E2=80=99s the switch. I would prefer to replace it with what ever =
the heck is in there now. Note: the original owner had a parts store =
(FLAPS) and the car is full of non stock stuff, from the alternator to =
the electric fan, electric fuel pump, 10 fuse European fuse box, etc., =
etc., etc. he installed backup lights out of a 65 pontiac, drilling =
holes in the trunk lid. Yikes!
