Hi all. Have a 86 Gt. Have problems with the ignition switch at times. The car will not start but when moving the ignition key around it will start up. Have this problem with other cars in the past doing this. What kind of job is it to get to the switch and replace it? Also where do I go to get one?
( the ignition key cly. works fine. )
And for you all that helped me with the axel problem- Again thank you!

I'm not sure of the differences in an 86 vs an 87, but this might provide some basic info (thanks for Saleen0679 for finding it some time ago):

Replace a 1979-1993 Ignition Switch Assembly

I'd use a Motorcraft switch.

Good luck.

Or resto house.

The last one I got at the dealership was ~20 bucks.
