    Ignition Switch Repair

    Tail light and gauge lights don't work. Rear Brake light works, running light doesn't not. I think I've traced the problem to the ignition switch. Anyone repaired an ignition switch on a 82 850L or am I looking at a new switch?

    Not on an 850 but I did on my 450, although it was a clean rather than a repair.

    On my 450, the cover comes off:



    If you look closely you can see where the plastic base clips into the housing and comes out like this:



    That's how it was:



    Cleaned up with contact cleaner:



    Sorry about the blurry photos but best I could do at the time, the camera has troubles focussing so close...

    Hope that helps.
