ignition switch

[IGETAROUND]

Are there any known problems, service bulletins with the ignition switches for other than the RT's??

Reason I ask is for the second time my RS failed to recognise it's keys. Now in shop circling O'hare till it can be repaired.:banghead::banghead::banghead: Rode into work 7/6 and when came out to return home "bad key" scrolled across. Did the key walk, no love. Unhooked the positive battery terminal and touched the negative terminal with it hoping to discharge the capacitors, again no love.

So now I wait. This is the second time this happened, first @ 350 miles, now over 7000 miles; no codes first time.:yikes:

This is how I understand it. All 2014 models went to the same new key with the rolling transponder chip. So same new DESS to go with it. It only seems to be a RT problem because there are so many of them.

Hard to say..!!

but with this being a 2014 whos to say it did not filter to other models. I have seen 2015 having this problem. Check your vin# with dealer or brp and see...:thumbup:

what stuff u got?

Have you installed any accessories near the key switch. If there is a power supply with a switching transformer, you could have lines of flux (magnetics) to interfear with key identification. Good luck.:cheers:

Thanks, Billy, had not looked at it that way; does make sense that if it's a problem with the RT's wouldn't put different switches in the RS's.

Would hope that they would do this, and if it's a problem that the parts to replace it are available.

Thanks Deerslayer, I do have my wiring for my GPS passing through the area. Would not have considered this.

One more thought. On my 14 RS-S my gps only comes on line after the engine is started. My power is supplied my the assy power lead. Hope this helps. G L... 3 DOWN AND GONE....
