2001 Intrepid Ignition Switch Problem - 6/18/2007 3:32:17 PM    eggpike   Posts: 2 Joined: 6/18/2007 Status: offline We have a 2001 Intrepid ES, and, on occasion, the Air Bag light will come on, the PW will not work, the AC/Heater will not work, etc. When we jiggle and/or push in on the ignition key, many of the accessories will start working again. Do I need a new lock cylinder or is this the result of a loose wire? Any help would be truly appreciated! Thanks! Post #: 1

The key turns fine, it just needs to be manipulated in order to establish an electical connection with the system so the accessories work. If this sounds like the ignition switch to you, is it easy to replace? I read the replacement steps for the lock cylinder and it seemed pretty simple. I would assume, if the ignition swith is in the steering column behind the cylinder, then it should be easy to swap out. Do you have any dignostics for the steering column? Thanks again for all of your help! (in reply to eggpike) Post #: 3
