Want this question answered?
what is an ignition actuator i work on Chevrolet and have never heard of it are you talking about the switch
2 screws on the opposite side of ignition unplug the switch dash board cover off
the ignition actuator is broken, you can turn off the "battery power" by the the ignition actuator rod that leads to the ignition switch, it runs along the top of the steering column under the dash, locate it and pull it towards the steering wheel, this should shut off the power. or you can unhook you battery, but either way you will have to replace the actuator.
There is a solonoid on the starter and the ignition switch is on the steering column.
two things..the ignition switch its worn out and need replacment or the selenoid inthe starter its going bad, need to replace starter,one or the other,,
the truck will not crank or anything with the key it wont even starter when you ark the starter all it does is whizz
You do not need a key to replace the ignition switch.
No. The problem lies in the starter itself. Replace the starter and the vehicle will start....
there is no relay for the starter. there is a solenoid (switch) and ignition switch. the solenoid is part of the starter (small cylindrical shape above starter housing. the solenoid has the battery and ignition connections). and the ignition switch is where the car-key goes. you need at least 8v from the ignition to the solenoid for the starter to operate. use a multimeter. otherwise check your starter - battery connections. otherwise replace the starter. otherwise, take off the starter and inspect inside the starter housing. if the starter is clicking but not turning the engine the starter teeth aren't engaging with the teeth on the flywheel. get a manual to the car here: http://www.germanautoparts.com/Books/Volkswagen
replace the ignition switch
Have you checked the ignition switch on the column . I had to replace the one in my 1977 Trans Am.
tighten the nut from the starter to the solenoid
