All I did was remove the switch from the ignition module, then realized that I did not have to go that far. I never removed the fairing cap, just the inner fairing. I think the tumblers are not aligning properly. The switch will turn to all the positions, but must not be making contact where it is supposed to. The hard part, for me, is getting everything aligned, I don't think I was using the proper screwdriver to accomplish this. I'll try it again later, I am being patient, but getting ready to lose it. Some things don't need to be this difficult!!!!

I want to say thanks to this website and eveyone who helped with my situation. But to say the least, it was not the ignition switch giving me fits. It was the wire connectors going to the switch, the middle wire came unplugged somehow. All is good now, thanks again.
