This video by Machine Design magazine shows what is wrong.

The detent plunger was too short and it's spring too weak to firmly hold
the switch in the "run" position. So, extra weight on a keyring could turn
the ignition switch off. (By swinging I suppose.)

One of the recommendations for wear and tear on vehicles in general I read,
(I forget the source) said to not use a heavy key ring in any vehicle
ignition as the extra weight and force from movement would wear the ignition
switch assembly significantly faster than a lighter key ring without extra
fobs and keys. I seem to recall that one of the big name insurance
companies quoted that tip in national advertising a few years ago as well.

The source might have something I got from my brother in law when he was a
manager at Delphi.


I have a ****load of keys, from all my trucks and so on, thanks for
food for thoughts.

Same here.

Last truck I put 440,000 miles on it with no issues, this truck has
285,000 on it..and I need a valve job. Dont think that was the keys
though.

I was once told by a “gun safety” advocate back in the Nineties
that he favored total civilian firearms confiscation.
Only the military and police should have weapons he averred and what did I think about that?

I began to give him a reasoned answer and he
cut me off with an abrupt, “Give me the short answer.”

I thought for a moment and said, “If you try to take our firearms we will kill you.”"
