    Ignition switch wiring issues

    Hello all

    The key-spinning-360-degress syndrome started to happen on my S70 so I ordered a new ignition barrel. I was fitting it on saturday and when removing the ignition switch the wiring inside the black plastic cover seems to have just collapsed from age.

    I've taken the black top off and a few of the solder joints are broken and I have no idea which wire goes to where!? I've put a few back in with trial and error and can now start and drive the car, but it wont start every time, its fires then stalls, then next time is fine. Also when I turn the ignition off the car keeps running until i pull the key out!

    I'm going to replace the ignition switch because I've already got the covers off, but what I need is a picture of all the pins on the back (under the black pastic) with the right wires in the right place..

    HELP!

    I've cured the intermittent starting. Read about the common issue with the immobiliser ring around the keyhole and cleaned the connectors so it starts every time now.

    Ordered a new ignition switch but still need to know the wiring as I've had a look at wiring diagrams here

    and though the colours match up, mine are all in totally the wrong places!

    I hope some kind soul could pop the top off their ignition switch and take a picture..

    Much appreciated but I managed to find exactly what I was after on another site:




    Seems I've got a couple of wires to swap over and I should be set, though I'll try the new ignition switch first.

    I still can't get over having parts posted from Swansea is cheaper than my local dealer!
