Default Same problem with the ignition switch.

Apparently, this is not a frequent problem.

Yet my mechanic had a similar experience on another 75 a week ago.

He identified the problem when he wiggled the white / red cable - connects the ignition switch to the EWS. Move this cable and the Car would start, jiggle the wire a little and nothing happened.

He tells me that there was evidence that this car had had a Nokia phone connected by an earlier owner. There was also other signs of tampering behind the ignition switch area.

Like NickAX54 he replaced the ignition switch and all was well again.
First time during his 19 years 75/ZT experience that he had come across this problem.
