Howdy!

I took the truck out for a spin earlier today and and my keychain got stuck on my sleeve and it yanked the key out of the ignition. Truck still ran. So I put the key back in and shut it off. Took the key out and turned the truck on again without the key in the slot.

Is this a bad thing? I now know that anyone can climb right in and make off with my truck. Have to start taking my distibutor wire off at night and take the battery out to keep would be thieves deterred. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Will,

Start wearing short sleeve shirts! grin I think a new key switch would be the order of the day.

The problem is not the switch. It is a worn lock assembly. This is very common. They are replacable and most vendors stock them.
