Hey guys, on my 1990 B2 the radio and wipers don't always work. I have to fiddle with the ignition switch and then they will work. so...

Do I need a new ignition switch or something else?

Could there just be a loose connection there?

Thanks so much!:beer:

Got to looking at it, seems that when the truck is running if the wipers and radio don't work I have to turn the igintion switch and extra little bit and they will work... So I will just keep going like this until I get more free time to take apart the column.

In closing, I replaced the ignition switch and sure enough all is well. :) More of a job then I wanted it to be but she is running again.
