Thanks, this is all very helpful! :)

I have looked at the .PDF, and it looks a lot like mine.
Didn't understand much, but ill see what google translate can do :P

Hopefully I will be able to fix this myself, because a new one is EXPENSIVE! :shock:

Now, i'll go out and start dismantling! :D

Thanks for all help so far, i'll be back for more help, or a update on how it is going.

my aircon sometimes doesn't work, i just wiggle the key, i will replace the ignition barrel when it becomes permanent.

Helps to know that i ain't the only one :P
But i am wondering, do i have to change the BARREL itself where i put the key in, or the plastic piece behind it, where the cables go in?

Would really help to know that :)

Should just be the electrical switch behind the barrel.

Hia guys, just a little update on how it's going :)

Looks like i'm getting some where now on this project i hope.
Talked to a friend who's neighbor has a 406 which is going to the breaker's, he is going to talk to him and maybe i can get a new ignition switch :lol:

Fingers crossed!

So maybe i finally can get some heat, specially now that the summer is coming on fast :P

Hi, guys.

Thought i would tell you that it works now.

I didn't do anything, i just started the car one day, and it came on!
I have figured out that if i wriggle the key about i will come on and off. :shock:

But it works, and im happy. When i get the chance ill see if i can fix it permanently :)

Thanks for all your help! It's good to know that there is people out there who can help :D
