gm ignition switch pigtail

have a gm tilt column minus ignition switch or pigtail. to the best of my knowledge it takes gm part #1990-116 for the switch.any ideas as to where i could find a pigtail for this switch or a part#? column is in a 41 ford coupe. thanks, tom

 

Check NAPA. They have lot of odd ball hard to find parts. Take the old one in to match.

 

thanks don but i dont have an old one. i guess i can wire straight to the ign. switch if worse comes to worse

 

Try Haywire, they carry a bunch of hard to find electrical parts and pieces. http://haywireinc.com/

 

Why not just head to the junkyard and chop one off a car?

 

Give me your address and ill get one in the mail for ya

 

TEDKRS your the man. hamb comes through again.

 

Looks like there are two seperate connectors that plug into this switch. Check these and see if they look familiar.

Either one should be readily available to order from any GM dealer. If you have a GM# for most switches and other electrical parts, any GM dealer should be able to find the item in the "Packard Connector Chart" which will reference the specific repair connectors or terminal bodies.

Here's the link to the ACDelco site to find an image of a given part number.

The switchs for tilt and non tilt columns are backwards to each other in how they work so make sure it's a plug for the tilt. If TEDKRS hadn't offered I have a couple of extras out in the shed. Another place to check is the Ron Francis catalog as it has a lot of the small harnesses that a guy might need to make things work right.

 

I just resolved the exact same problem. My ignition switch has 9 pins & I got the correct part from Painless. Part # 30805.

just wanted to thank tedkrs for supplying the pigtail dirt t is right. he is the man

 

Good information here. I too am suffering from a defective switch and have combed junk yards to no avail.

The local GM dealer said "Can't help you son."

Where to turn????

 

got the switch from rock auto for 9 bucks part # above is for a mid 70's gm tilt column.
