s14 igntion switch problems? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'll make this long story short... my car has had problem starting. I would take a couple tries and a couple bang underneath the steering column. The battery checked out fine, replaced the starter and solenoid. clutch relay seems to be fine, i switched the a/c relay fuse into the clutch relay and it still doesnt start up right away. I am thinking it could be ignition switch?? Any advice on this or symptoms of bad ignition switch. It has been getting harder and harder to start my car!! Thank you for reading fellow 40 owners!

1 out of 20 times my deck will randomly shut up, but when i bought this car i would have to turn on the car and turn it back once to get all the electronics to work.

replaced my ignition switch today with a nissan altima and it fires up every time so far. I hear a lot of stories about it working for a while but eventually does the same thing. I hope it doesnt happen to me.

If you are having problems with your car not starting due to a shorted ignition/starter switch, replace your ignition/starter switch with the following part:
