First time this ever happened.....car has always started/turned over well. 72 demon....column ignition key/switch. Well, went to start it and the switch turned all the way to crank and all I got was a dash light and the key wouldn't spring back, just sorta stayed in the crank position...also didn't get any gauge deflection. Left the key on and the car started,very reluctently by jumping the starter selonoid.(car normally fires almost immediatel,this time cranked way too long). Now I'm pissed because I was leaving for a cruise. I played with the colum a bit and the key/switch returned to normal. Car fired up immediately and the return spring action worked. I understandd the car is a "demon" but I don't need demons in the system.
What's with this ?? This is the newest old car I've had and never dealt with a column switch. Suggestions ?
