#737011 | December 13, 2000

MY 1995 MUSTANG'S IGNITION SWITCH IS DEFECTIVE. OFTENTIMES IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO INSERT OR REMOVE MY KEY, AND THE BLACK SWITCH GUARD AROUND THE KEY HAS ABOUT 1/2" OF FREE PLAY. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS WHO HAVE NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR '95S. ONCE MY KEY WOULDN'T GO IN AT ALL. *AK

#737746 | December 13, 2000

INNER PORTION OF KEYSWICH ROTATES INDEPENDANTLY OF OUTER PLASTIC/METAL PORTION. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO INSERT KEY, AND VERY DIFFICULT TO START VEHICLE. AND IN MANY CASES, CAR STARTS, BUT ALL 12VOLT ACCESSORIES (AL THAT USE THE IGN. ON 12V+ WIRING) WILL FAIL TO WORK (IE:RADIO, AC BLOWER, INTERIOR LIGHTING, GAUGES). ALSO SPOKE TO 10-12 OTHER 1995 MUSTANG (BASE AND GT OWNERS) OWNERS, AND THEY ALL HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, AND POSSIBLY IN EXTREME CASES CAUSE A FIRE NEAR THE AIRBAG ASSY. FORD CHANGED THE IGNITION KEY SYSTEM IN 1996. *AK

#825107 | February 17, 1999
