Eightpot Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Assuming the switch is ok, you must have wired the terminals incorrectly. If you do a search there are plenty photos of where the wires go Edited March 30, 2020 by Eightpot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paime Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Solenoid? Had the exact same issue with my TD5 and a new solenoid on the starter motor fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 are both retaining screws fitted to the switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 It sounds like the steering lock key/barrel are worn and over travelling taking the contacts in the switch past the correct position cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
