Look at the plug and the back of the switch (take it off the back side of the switch and see if it is a 4, 6 or 9 blade connector? I bet a smaller 4 or 6 pin, that might help narrow it down.

sounds great. I’ll have a look before I order. I have narrowed down the problem to the switch, that would be great if it could just be cleaned up.

Some times it is a a bad tumbler, or a bad switch. Plastic cracks, contact tabs loose, ark and spark. or just plains worn out. You do know how to get the ing switch out the dash right? See the 3 cuts in the ring around the ing sw on the outside of the dash/body? Small flat tip screw driver and just tap in one cut in a counter clockwise direction for a bit then loosen the rest way up by hand and remove.

Update
Just thought I would update this in case it helps anyone in the future. I ended up replacing both:
- ignition switch
- lock cylinder.
When I got them apart, I initially thought it was the lock cylinder as it was sticking. After a thorough clean, it still wouldn’t turn. Therefore I ordered in a new lock cylinder, put it back on the original ignition switch, and put it in the truck. It would still stick in the on/run position. Therefore, I ordered in a new switch and all is good. Still fighting electrical issues elsewhere, but that’s what a project is all about!
thanks for the videos, I would have not figured out how to remove the lock cylinder without them.
