dodgy electrics - ignition barrel/ switch?

Recommended Posts

i've got a prob. with my electrics - i've tried a search but nobody seems to have described the same symptoms - but correct me if i'm wrong!

 

when i turn the car on and leave the key in its 'resting' position the radio won't come on. if i wiggle the key about and turn it back slightly the radio will come on and work fine. sometimes it will cut out over big bumps...

 

is this the ignition switch fault that seems to crop up on most corrado's?

 

cheers for any help...

A bad igniton switch will cause all kinds of strangeness. When it went bad on my mk3...my radio stopped working and my idle would hunt up and down.

 

Its a fairly cheap part at 15usd...so I got one and replaced it. It was cake on a mk3...but a pain on the Corrado.
