Author	Topic:   Removal and Re-Installation of Ignition Switch
kennylou	posted 03-31-2007 07:02 PM ET (US)         First I lost my key. I took out my ignition [switch], and I took it in to get new key. I put it back in and warning horn will not stop. Help. I need my boat back.

The most likely cause of the malfunction of the alarm sounder switch after removal and re-installlation is an error in the wiring when the ignition switch was re-installed. Is that possible?
