Either the off or the lock position will cease current to all but the most critical systems. Not many of those are on a 64' Impala. Maybe a clock. If your battery is draining there could be a short circuit somewhere. You'll nee to trace it out with a test light or multimeter. Start at the fuse block and try to find circuits that have power, but shouldn't. Good luck. Nice car. Well worth your time.
Yes. Otherwise you will drain the battery through the ignition points, burning them out prematurely or even welding them together.
Dead cell in the battery requiring a replacement battery or some light is on that is draining the battery. Can also be a stuck relay.
I just had this problem. It's the relay switch under the dash on the passangers side. It cost about 75 bucks for the part and anyone can do it. It's just 2 screws.
While the ignition is in the ON position, follow this sequence:Turn your headlights to the parking position and then OFF 3x's.
It could be a weak battery or a bad ignition coil.
bad ignition, bad battery, bad starter, need more info in the question
Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter solenoid? Dead spot on starter? Bad neutral safety switch?
The ignition is not fused.
The 1966 Chevy Impala ignition switch can be removed by loosening the retaining ring at the top of the ignition switch. Remove the wiring harness. Reverse the process to install the new ignition switch.
To remove the battery on a 2003 Chevy Impala, first ensure the vehicle is turned off and the keys are removed from the ignition. Use a wrench to disconnect the negative terminal (black) first, followed by the positive terminal (red). Once both terminals are removed, unbolt the battery hold-down bracket and carefully lift the battery out of the tray. Always exercise caution, as batteries can be heavy and contain corrosive materials.
it is either the key is worn out or the key cylinder in the ignition is worn out.
YES.....
