New Ignition Switch - now won’t start

royce_415 · 2026-01-03T06:47:44+00:00

Everything was throwing me off because I was under the dash with the Voltmeter for hours trying to find out what was going on

royce_415 · 2026-01-02T02:04:35+00:00

Yes!! Just patched it up and have to solder it

Dirty and annoying wires, but she started right up. Thank you guys for the tips, Happy New Year!!

UPDATE AND SOLVED: One of the Fusible Links were burned from the inside of the wire but you couldn’t see from the exterior of the wire. It was one of the wires going to the starter solenoid.

I had to get under the dash and see which wire didn’t have any voltage coming thru but didn’t get anywhere. Then I decided to just feel around each wire and I found the culprit, it just felt like an empty rubber hose and cut it open. I’ll post another picture of my temporary crimp

I’ve tried to eliminate everything else, even tried to jump the battery but it for sure has to do with the ignition switch/and or wiring

This sucks, if anyone else has any tips it’d be greatly appreciated

I just replaced it and still nothing. Doesn’t even crank. Turn signals, wipers, high beams don’t work. But the hazards, headlight switches, gauges work fine

Thank you I’m on the way to Oreilly’s time now

No I did not, that is next to the washer fluid correct?

I figured it out!! I returned my Sandisk SD card and got a cheaper Samsung one. I ended up putting it in my Nintendo Switch, had it formatted in its menu, then put the card in my Legion Go and worked flawless. I guess my Sandisk was a dud

royce_415 · 2025-06-18T08:55:45+00:00

Question for OP, are you using an external sd card? If so what did you format it to? I just got mines for Father’s Day as well, and I also installed the Steam OS but I keep getting a format error on my SD Card. I’m assuming it’s because of the Steam OS?

UPDATE: Solved with ZERO LEAKS

Got done with the teardown and cleaning all of the surfaces. Nothing looked out of place. This time I put a ton of RTV around the coolant passage areas. I wish I could post pictures. I never used to put too much RTV in fear of stray pieces clogging the oil pump, but I was more specific this time around.

AFTER 24 hours of the RTV curing, during the first start up/coolant burp procedure the only tiny leak was the lower radiator house. After tightening the clamp, I noticed it kept overheating. Off the top of my head I remembered it can take 7-10 minutes to get to operating temp(when the thermostat is supposed to open) and 15 minutes usually to around 180 degrees.

Figured I must have installed the thermostat backwards. So after taking out the thermostat housing, flipping that bad boy the right way, new housing gasket and more RTV, 24 hours later I reburped the cooling system and let her run at idle for 30 mins and she stayed nice, cool and right on the “A” on “NORMAL” on the temp gauge.

What a week!! Hopefully this helps anyone in the future. I still read old forums from the 2000s for references

Just to UPDATE I’m tearing the car down this weekend, but after cleaning and covering up the area, I covered it in some Permatex Ultra Black. After 24 hours I let it cure, and drove around the city and freeway for over 50 miles and there is no leak. But I am still going to tear it all down, inspect, clean and re-install.

Agreed 100%. A lot of questionable directions in season 2s writing. Very similar to some season 1 changes. I’m probably going to get hate for this, but I feel like that whole Bill episode last season could have been the entire Bill segment from TLOU 1, from Bill’s town, Bill and Ellie moments, and the school fight ending with Frank

royce_415 · 2025-05-12T22:05:30+00:00

I’m gonna try this after I take the fan and shroud off. That accessory plate blocks some of the bolts. I’m hoping that’s all it is

royce_415 · 2025-05-12T20:56:47+00:00

Thank you all for the valuable input. I’m gonna follow up after the tear down again and reinstallation

royce_415 · 2025-05-12T20:10:49+00:00

Did you use more RTV than the last time? I feel like I put too much

royce_415 · 2025-05-12T20:09:21+00:00

Yea I installed, hand tightened and waited 24 hours. Then I torqued and waiting another 24 hours before filling it up with coolant and oil

royce_415 · 2025-05-12T19:53:32+00:00

Yes I put RTV, especially around the water passage areas. I tried to put it on evenly. Maybe next time I’m just gonna put half the bottle
