My ignition switch is a bit notchy. When the key is turned to the off position, 90% of the time I have to jiggle the key to make the parking lights go off. It is worth it to try and open up and repair? I always have good intensions but something will usually go south on me and I'll regret giving it a shot...

So, I'll need new springs on the internals or can i stretch them out a bit? It is the springs, it's sloppy. And a nice dose of your dialectic grease. I use that on everything now.  It brought back an old 60 tbird's radio, electric windows and fan motor.
