Ignition Switch Test

1992 Chevrolet Corvette Base, 2D Coupe, StandardSECTION Ignition Switch Test
NOTE: For an "engine not cranking" condition with A/T, determine if condition exists in both Park and Neutral positions. If condition occurs in one position and not other, a more probable cause is a faulty neutral start switch.

Test ignition switch operation by rotating cylinder/key through all switch positions. Movement should feel smooth with no sticking or binding. The cylinder/key should return from the START position back to the RUN position without assistance. Inspect and repair if necessary.
