<div> <font size="3">Interesting. I had a dodgy ignition switch in my 71 TR6. I replaced it and it has been fine ever since. That was 25 years and some 50,000 miles ago. <br>

<div><font size="3">What issues are you having? Mine would spontaneously switch off the ignition. A little wiggle would restore power. I've had no issues since.</font><br>

<div style="margin:0;line-height:1.0;">I have experienced this situation also. I just keep a spare ignition switch in the trunk. I have taken the switch apart before and cleaned the contacts. This works for a little bit of time if the contacts are not too burnt, but I end up replacing the switch.</div>

<div class="yiv9940150852MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I have just replaced the electrical switch part of the ignition switch on my 72 TR6, for the 2<sup>nd</sup> time in 2 years. Both switches were genuine Lucas parts. LU39415 The car has been driven a couple hundred miles during this period. I am wondering if there might be a situation with the car that is causing the failures? The wiring is pretty much stock, with a new harness 15 years ago. I did add a voltmeter a few years ago, but retained the ammeter. And added a circuit breaker in the headlight circuit. There was a burnt brown wire under the dash feeding power to the light switch, but I could not figure out if there was a problem or a dirty connector causing it to over heat. Is there any reason to add a relay? There doesn’t seem to be that much current in the red/white wire going to the starter solenoid. Thanks.</span></span></div>
