thank you for all of your answersHow to repair the ignition switch connector?
Do you have the steering column apart yet? Is it the connector from the dashboard wiring harness that is burned up? If it is, your best, and least expensive, solution is to go to a junk yard and clip the same connector from a similar vehicle. Make sure you leave yourself plenty of wire behind the connector so you have adequate length to strip and solder the new connector to your wiring harness. If you are unable to find a connector at a junk yard, you may be able to buy a new connector plug and the corresponding wire ends to put in the connector at your local dealership. However, not all manufacturers do this--they may tell you that you have to buy a new wiring harness for the instrument panel. This would be you LAST RESORT!!! Replacing the harness for the dashboard usually entails taking out he dash and unplugging all electrical devices contained in it and then re-installing the harness and dash. This is A LOT of work, and the average back yard mechanic doesn't have the tools, training or know-how to do this kind of major repair. If you have a shop do this for you it will be very expensive; the harness itself will not be cheap and it is a very labor-intensive job. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, let me know.How to repair the ignition switch connector?
Some dealers sell repair kits..as in the hardshell connector with a few inches of wire hanging out. If not, hope that a scrapyard will sell you just the part of the harness you need. If all else fails..you can get some female spade connectors and plug them into the ign switch, then silicone them into place so they won't short together. Not the right way....but ye do what ye must!
