How to Replace an Ignition Switch

Image
Car Ignition Switch Replacement Safety Tip: Always wear safety glasses when working on your vehicle. Wear other personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary, for example latex gloves or closed toe shoes. 1 Locate your battery. 2 Touch the ground side probe of the DMM to the negative battery post and the power side probe of the DMM to the positive battery post with the vehicle running. 3 Locate your ignition switch. 4 Gain access to the wiring behind the ignition switch. 5 Touch the ground side probe of the DMM to a good known ground (such as an unpainted screw to the body frame or door hinge bolt). 6 Back probe the power side probe of the DMM to the wire that connects the ignition switch to the fuse in the START position. 7 Read the current voltage reading on the DMM. You should have full battery voltage running through the ignition switch at this time. A significant drop (a reading such as 10 Volts or lower) would indicate high resi...

Ignition Wire Set Replacement Safety Tip: Always wear safety glasses when working on your vehicle. Wear other personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary, for example latex gloves or closed toe shoes. 1 Open the hood and locate the vehicle's ignition wires. 2 Gain access to the vehicle's ignition wires. 3 Mark the ignition wires for installation reference. 4 Remove the number one ignition wire from the distributor cap and spark plug. Lay out the new wires and match the correct length wire to the one removed. Repeat this process to install the rest of the ignition wires.

How An Ignition System Works?

Ignition System Working Of Cars Ignition System Helpful Information An ignition system is designed to ignite a fuel mixture inside the engine's combustion chamber at an optimal time in the piston stroke to produce the most power while emitting the least amount of emissions as possible. There are many configurations of ignition systems but all operate on the same principle, create a low energy field and collapse it onto a high energy coil and that transfers the electrical energy into the secondary ignition system, i.e. coil wire, distributor cap and rotor (if equipped) plug wires and finally the spark plug. This system is triggered by the primary ignition system, this system varies depending on manufacturer but all operate on the same principle, use a low voltage trigger system i.e.  crankshaft position sensor  (CKP), camshaft position sensor (CAS) to trigger a high voltage spark. This low voltage system (1.5 to 3.0 volts) is amplified to 12 volts by using an ignition m...
