When you insert the key there is a little nubbin that eagerly squirts out of the barrel. When you pull the key out it sucks back in.
Its action is a more exaggerated snap-action than just the speed that the key insertion speed. |

I have a lighted rocker switch to turn on power for the stereo in my '77 Bay. It has worked just fine for a decade and a half at this point in time.
As for the ignition switch, Bus Depot is claiming that their aftermarket switch has good reliability and doesn't end up being a glob of melted plastic all that readily. |

I'm still curious how the key, the lock cylinder, and the ignition switch all integrate, and if cleaning and lubricating can improve performance or not. I notice that If one just barely inserts the key, the key in power is applied. A "plunger" was mentioned. Wondering if this pushes down and contacts the ign switch ?]
If my van wasn't 400 miles away I'd pull the switch to refresh my mind on what I saw when I wrote this. I recall spraying in some lube and pushing a plunger to see if I could get it to work reliably. I probably had a test light connected to test if it closed the circuit.
