ignition switch problem ?

Post by islandboy »

When I start my 1.9DG the ignition key does not spring back the run position and I have to manually position it. Is this a problem with the switch itself or is it likely to be elsewhere ?

Thanks for prompt reply, is there a spring in the switch that returns the key to the running position ?
