WOW! Had not posted in this forum in a long time, but here we go.
I had a bad ignition switch so I decided to buy the switch at Napa and tackle it myself. I got the Freight liner switch through a cross reference from another manufacturer because they told me that the switch was no where in the USA. But they told me they had the exact switch by Napa. So instead of paying Sixty dollars on the internet I got it for thirty two through Napa.
So I was not sure how I was going to pull the part where the tumblers were caged in, so I referred to You Tube and I found one on how to replace the switch on a Fore Travel coach which looked exactly like the one on my coach. It told me to turn the key all the way to the left and get a paper clip and push into a little hole next to where you insert the key and believe it, it come right out. Unscrew the bezel and then just unplug the harness from the back of the switch, put it back together and your done. It probably would have cost me a couple of hundred dollars if I had taken it in to a RV shop. So I saved a couple of hundred at least. Turned the key on and the monster come alive right away.
