Ignition Problem

[barrabas]

hello!

i have a problem with my cg8 , when i turn the key on , the lights of the dashboard doesn´t stay on, its like there´s no key in the ignition:wall:, but if i turn the key off and on several times , the dashboard lights come on, and i can put the engine working, also when i´m driving, the car shut´s down by it self , all the dashboard lights go off. i know it´s something in the ignition , but someone have already a similar problem ?

thanks

Hi,

is it the original Key(one of the First 3 Keys)?

 

I got 3 Keys for my CG8 and I think you too. Try to use one of the other Keys.

Hi!

 

I believe the switch of the Ignition Lock is faulty. When your´e well in electronics and own a Voltmeter you can proof it.

 

Build of the Covers, on the left side is the switch. The White Cable must have alltime +12V. On Position II (On) must have the Wht/Blk, Blk/Yel and the Yellow Cable +12V.

 

If this is not, you will need a new Switch.

 

Good Luck
