Model T ignition switch

[Deco 1927]

Hello, Everyone

I purchased a new aftermarket ignition switch for my 1927 Model T. When I connected the wires the switch would not work. I checked my wiring and it's correct. Has anyone experienced this issue or any suggestions on how to solve it.

Thanks

Maybe return it for a replacement.

Time to get your meter out and do some checking. Did you remember to reconnect the battery? Did you buy the whole switch assembly or just repair parts? Tab or pin style, if pin easy to pop back off and take a look at the contacts and spider, it may just need a little tweak.

Can you hook up a modern universal ignition switch to a model T using the stock set up wire harness

You could start by answering the questions about what type you have. Do you have lights? Can you post a photo of what you are working with? Are you sure you have power getting to the hot terminal on the switch?
