I would appreciate any words of experience and/or wisdom regarding replacing the ignition switch in my 76 Royale. It has a tilt column and I believe it is totally stock.

I have had problems for some time getting the starter to engage - repeated clicks and eventually starting. Now mostly dead - sometimes lights come on until the key is turned to start then everything goes dead. Sometimes seems to reset after a few minutes. Short in the switch? Batteries test good.

I have the GMC Maintenance Manual X-7525B and will use this as a guide.

I am a decent mechanic but not a good electrician so any advice or suggestions re tests or alternatives would certainly be appreciated.

Thank you.
