850 not starting - ignition switch? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be gwen on  Wed Jan 7 07:17 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Rick:

there is an easy way to figure out if its the switch or the starter.....

Turn you headlights on with someone or a wall in front of you. Try to start the car. If the headlights dim,......your starter has failed. If they don't dim, it could be the switch.

If you have to replace the starter.....you will need to remove the electric fan assem. (3 phillips screws) to have enough room to work.
