Subject:85 Vanagon - Ignition electrical switch
From:AAG - Larry Word
Date:Sat, 25 Mar 2006 20:01:11 -0500

My daily driver does not crank anymore?  No 12V from ignition switch when tested at the starter
relay.  Relay/starter cranks when you apply 12V to it.....so how do you change this ign. switch?
Are there two parts to an ignition switch: (1) mechanical where the key turns in ON/OFF and 
(2) electrical part ($25) that once turned by key, gives 12V to starter relay?>

**How do you open steering column and get to these parts?

Any help would be appreciative as I own no manual and do not have extra money to buy one
now.....
