1-3-2-4 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I ordered a replacement switch from the dealer because my keys are getting stuck trying to turn the car off to pull out the keys all I've seen here was talk about the headless security screws but besides those I assume once you take that out the switch comes right out?

1-3-2-4 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Anyone? I got the switch in my hand... I've heard two different stories on how to get the switch out.. I need to know the right way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Never mind I replaced the switch myself all I needed to do was press the pin on the switch while the key was in ACC and it slid right out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 You replaced the lock cylinder? Did you replace the key as well? I've seen them be very difficult and very easy. Haven't done one on a Subaru yet. The headless screws aren't that difficult to deal with. A couple whacks with a small flat punch is sufficient to make a notch for a flat screwdriver. Then they can be replaced with a regular hex or socket cap screw. Worst comes to worst a hack saw takes care of them pretty easy. Or a dremel if you can maneuver it into place.

1-3-2-4 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 I never had to take any screws out, you just press a pin on the side of the switch and it pops out.. it really only took 5 min at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great....but it doens't change the electrical aspect one lick. IIRC, you were having electrical issues with starting.......did you actually replace the switch too?
