It's a latching push button switch. To operate this type of switch, you press the button, which then latches into place. To switch off, you press the button again, which returns to its home position. Just like the power switch on your TV or HI FI.

Can you put a 1971 Chevy 400 tranny in to a 1986 Chevy Monte Carlo?
It will bolt up to the engine, but the cross member will not work as the 400 is longer than the trans. in the 86. You will also need to make a down shift switch as the 86 trans. has a detent cable, the 400 has an electric switch. There is also the driveshaft issue.

My turn signal on the passenger side works but not on the drivers side unless i hold the switch down part way t turn left what can be wrong plus my backup lights don't work i have a 1995 Chevy lum?
If the turn signal switch will not lock into the detent position on one side or the other, then the detent is broken. You will have to replace the switch, not an easy task. The backup light switch is related to gear selector position, and is probably located in the steering column as well. I don't know if this is related to the turn signal switch, but it does not sound like it.
Why is your 1989 ford ranger xlt stuck in gear but the car will start?
Sounds like you have a (auto trans???). The vehicle safety switch is allowing you to start the engine because it thinks you are in park or neutral. If this is the case, check the linkage at the trany end. Diconnect the linkage at the trany and try to shift gears by hand. If there is little to no resistance, drop the pan and check to see if the "detent" assembly has a broblem. This ( the detent) is what keeps spring loaded pressure on things and is the resistance you feel when you shift the trany by hand. Look up DETENT in the dictionary for a profesional desciption.
How do you change a ignition switch in a 1995 ford thunderbird without having the old keys?
This may sound ridiculous... but force the the ignition switch until the detent "breaks" and you can turn the ignition switch without the key. The risk here is that you could possibly break the assembly that the ignition switch inserts into. If you can get the switch to rotate from the lock position one position clockwise, then you can release the switch from underneath the steering column and pull the switch out. The alternative is to have a locksmith get the ignition switch to rotate one position clockwise and then you can remove the switch and replace it with a new one from any auto parts store.
