I=E2=80=99m not at all surprised =E2=80=93 the ignition switch in my TR4 =
is not exactly stock.  It might be a TR switch but ?????

=20

Anyone recognize this switch?

=20

I took it out of the mounting today, and individually pulled off the =
connectors, cleaning what I could and spraying it with an electronic =
component cleaner.  Anyone seen a tool to clean the inside of those =
junction clips?  I can clean the tab but how to you clean the female =
version that is attached to the wires?

=20

Here is what is happening =E2=80=93 every now and then the car will get =
power when you turn the key, and start.  Mostly you get nothing, like a =
disconnected battery.  No power to anything.  So I=E2=80=99m thinking =
it=E2=80=99s the switch.  I would prefer to replace it with what ever =
the heck is in there now.  Note: the original owner had a parts store =
(FLAPS) and the car is full of non stock stuff, from the alternator to =
the electric fan, electric fuel pump, 10 fuse European fuse box, etc., =
etc., etc.  he installed backup lights out of a 65 pontiac, drilling =
holes in the trunk lid.  Yikes!
