Ignition switch on my '86 4Runner has started sticking in the "start" position the first time i start the engine in the morning. I patched a circuit tester into the relay wire to confirm that it is the ignition switch and not the relay sticking (plus, smacking the steering column makes it stop cranking...)
I'd rather dismantle and lubricate the switch than replace it, but I don't want to pull off the cover and have parts fly across the room, leaving me hot-wiring the truck while i wait for the part to come in.
I've found multiple threads on replacing the switch, but i can't find anything on disassembling one - anyone out there ever done so? Have pictures? Success/failure stories?
Thanks in advance.
