Is this part, 69 ignition switch, interchangable with any other?

[H.G.P.]

Key won't budge. Tried everything. So before I attempt to rig a universal ignition switch (not knowing about the wiring), I would like to know if the following part can be swapped:

I've removed the ignition switch. On the back it reads:

8276/2


It has terminals no. # 50, #54, #15, #30, Po (whatever that means).

Also there are eight wires atteached to these various terminals, color coded:

They are: two red wires to terminal #30
pink to #30
Light red to #30

double red to #15

yellow to #50

neutral gray whitish to" Po


tan to # 54


yellow-red stripped to # 15

Hello

You can replace the switch unit by every unit made for 911 from 1969 to 1997. The early ones will fit to but have a other connector on the rear.

The switch unit is seperate from the key unit.

My unit has 11 "prongs"on the back of it. Currently, eight wires are supposed to attach to it. I'm concerned that I will not know what wire goes where on the back of a new replacement unit, when (or if), that time will ever come. My greatest concern is upon a possbile re-connection of a new unit, that the starter wire on the switch I might attach in the wrong location, or even worse perhaps fouling the connections up causing a short in a new unit! For now, "Little Bull" just sits in the garage.

I purchased one from this guy 2 months ago. Its new and comes with 2 nos keys as well. This switch is an excellent investment and yes it has all the same pin #`s as yours. The car I purchased it for is also a 69`. I paid $235.00 because I waited for the end and suffered some competition from other bidders. This is a no longer available part and originally sold from porsche for $375+ so by far its the best route to go. I would use buy it now if your not to late.

Hello

@HGP

I´m irritatet.

What is the exact build date from your car ? Do you have two batterys or one in the trunk ?

MY 69 cars have one big socket to stick on. As long noone take that appart you don´t have to guess anything as the socket will fit only one way.

Hi Roland:

VIN, #278 off the production line year, 1969. All the Porsche catalogs I've looked at list the part as NLA.

Further, if this means anything, the switch has a number on the front 22715. I seee know way I could even begin to remnove the tumbler off it's base. The switch is the NON-locking type.

I have just posted on another thread requesting where to attach wires to terminals labeled ACC, IGN , as I have obtained a different switch with prongs, that I thus far can work my BAT, fuel pump, and starter (fired the car up today), but the other 5 wires I don't know whether they belong on IGN or ACC. The wires are all colored differently.



Thanks...

Hello

I always was thinking that the mY 69 got the lokable steering wheel and the key buzzer.

However the 69 wireloom has a ready short wire interface for the switch.

The numbers are the internal part numbers from the connector manufactorer ( Klöckner ).
