Ignition switch w/tilt and telescopic

[scorp]

I need an ignition switch but have tilt and telescopic. Thing is all I can find is replacements for w/o these options. I am guessing the difference is harness length. I ordered the switch locally from Lordco and going to see what the issue is. Thanks for any input.

Year, Make, Model?..... The difference is not only the length, but the ''harness'' as well.

I'm not 100% on a '72, but on a ''Formal'' the ignition switch is inside the column behind the lock cylinder on a non-tilt column. On a tilt column the switch is mounted on the outside of the column down near the brake pedal, and is operated by a rod attached to the lock cylinder. The harness is set up for non-tilt. The connectors for a tilt and non- tilt column ARE different. The factory used a ''jumper'' harness to connect a tilt column to the non-tilt wiring.

AZ pn. LS420 ignition switch. That number is for a Formal. Maybe it will work for your Fusie.

I am pulling everything apart tomorrow when I get a chance. I will also take some pics for future reference for other people.

It is the rod style ignition. Now it is time to find a replacement since the parts places here say they do not exist

That one does look right. I just ordered it and should have it tonight to try it out.

LS420 is wrong for mine. Completely different pin out.

Darn it.. :hide: Sorry man.

Any help is better than no help. Thanks. Looks like I am doing a toggle switch panel and a push start button. Also have the damn hazards lights stuck on and there isn't even a switch in the column. I have to unplug the column harness when I park.

Found a part number for it but it has been obsolete for 5 years. Niehoff AL138A. If anyone can find it I would be in debt to you haha

Still haven't got a switch yet since the car is parked for winter BUT I did find a cheaper switch maybe. 1969 Firebird ignition switch looks to be identical. Found it for half the price of the "mopar" switch.

It appears the metal housing will just have to be swapped over.

Maybe not exact but it's a $15 part so I'd give it a shot to see if the connector contacts are the same but it doesn't appear so. The Mopar pic sux.

GM F-body (but also used on the 78 - 82 Dodge Ramcharger):

That last one is still slightly different. This is the exact one I found for $25 https://secure.amesperf.com/qilan/Image_Display?ss_max_image_width=475&ss_part_num=FM354
