GTC ignition switch repair

[Steve Meltzer]

The Bosch ignition relay/switch on my GTC is toast. I wonder if it is repairable? Who does this sort of thing, or is a new one the way to go?
Here are pictures of the devil. thanx. steve

Google the Bosch #. Looks the same as Alfa and BMW from the same era.

Hi Steve, I had a similar problem. I could switch off ignition but not the accessories. I ended up taking the switch apart and readjusting the blades. It was a not a big deal. The big deal was getting to the switch. It was a royal pain, as the dash had to be disconnected and moved forward enough so I could get my hand back there.

John, you are talking about the CEAM switch ,this one can be repaired but the Bosch is trash after this occasion.

as said above those can be get for less than 100 usd much cheaper than the Ceam.

I had the opposite problem: fuel pump went on, but no voltage at the coil (+) with key in run position, so no start. I guess the electrons couldn't find their way to the coil! The e-pump turned off just fine. I thought I'd searched the part number, but maybe only on eBay. Anyhow, Airsanford was on the $$$: whereas both knowledgeable vendors I spoke with had 7 blade parts for $185, I found a new one, on eBay in Italy: correct 6 terminal for slightly more than $100 with shippinng. The strong dollar helped here, but is killing some of my stocks! Can't have it both ways, I guess. thanx again for the good help and advice. s
