BF GTX - Hot ignition switch

[1579]

What could be causing it? Aside from the hack DTA s60 install or the terrible wiring under my dash.

The interesting part is the switch seemed ok until I started using it without a cylinder. The cylinder jammed and so I've been using a screwdriver to start the car up. Switch keeps getting warmer and warmer now it's effin hot. Think I have damaged the switch?

So i guess my question is, has anyone else run into this? I am about to open the switch up and see what's happening in there.

Thanks

There is a big heavy blue wire passing through that switch. If it breaks, it can arc and get quite hot with all that current in it. Disconnect the battery before you go in there.
