Welcome to our forum, Jerry.
long distance troubleshooting is difficult, and when it involves electrical issues, it becomes often impossible. Toss us a few more specifics so responses might actually be of value to you.
What year is your car chassis? It appears to have a GT5 appearance but we need the year of the chassis, as the ignition switches changed for the later cars.
is this car new to you? Whether new or old, what is your prior history with this ignition switch? always worked flawlessly, until just recently, or has it been acting up for a while?
has anyone recently done any work anywhere underneath the dash of your car?
The ignition lock should have four positions. Full CCW is off, followed by accessories, run and start. A well worn ignition lock might allow removal of your key without it being turned fully CCW. Not common, but worth checking,
next time you test it don’t hit the clutch pedal, but turn on your headlights and tell us what, if anything changes.
our 50-year-old ignition switches are beginning to show their age. An owner recently opened one to find the original lubricating grease had basically been hardened into a waxy plastic. This is what can happen after 50 years of current and electrical arcing.
replacements are not common, but are available. But if we get that far, we will then need to know what year of your chassis
