What causes this to happen to an ignition switch? It was a pretty harrowing experience since the car didn't even try to crank the first two times and then started smoking on the third try.
Worst part is...the little black connector that plugs into the ignition switch melted along with some of the wiring insulation attached to the ignition switch connector.
Is it safe to replace the ignition switch and wrap the 3 inches of burned wire with electrical tape on the other side of the ignition switch...or do I need to think about splicing and cutting?
Thanks!
