Damn Ignition switch pissing me off!!!!!

[Tanner]

Anyone else here about to rip out their ignition switch? My damn thing keeps rotating. I get in there, manuever the wrench amongst the rats nest of wires, and get it snug. Then by the end of the day, the damn thing is upside down. Kind of hard starting the boat w/ the key upside down...lol. Anyone gotta a tip for a type of set screw or anything?

I used loctite on mine. Has not moved since.

[Razzman]

Mine did the same. All i did was thread out the thin nut behind the dash where i wanted it, tightened down the outer cap/rubber cover then used two wrenches, one on the switch shaft and one on the nut to tighten against the dash. Hasn't backed out again in two months.

Thanks guys, guess we'll try it!

Red loctite here I come!

[zad0030]

Yup Loctite will do it.

[Razzman]

Yeah but i wouldn't use red! Use blue it'll hold just fine, you'll play hell getting it off with red!

[chpthril]

The last one I put in had a Jam nut on the front that was easier to tighten? good call on the Loc-tite, but may want to go blue.

[xpjim1]

I went blue. Never used red before

[Lucky 275]

good call.

Mine is all twisted up as well.

Will loctite work on the cat pee carpet too?

[G-MONEY]

I b!tch about that dumb thing every time we go out, but always forget to do something about it. I'm picking up some lctite on the way home!!!

[Moki]

I am having the same problem. I will give it a shot as well.

[Domsz06]

i never had the problem, but when I do, blue loctight will be bought!

[zad0030]

just make sure you have the key facing the right way when you do it. We did ours and it came out sideways. Our dealer straightened it out for us though.

[Domsz06]

ha ha ha, sorry it's not funny, but it is.

[Wake Havasu]

Mioe odes the same thing.

Hal f the time it takes a while to be abgle to remove the key as it rotates around and around.
