Ignition Switch won't return
940 Wagon non-Turbo
In hot weather when I start the engine the ignition switch will not automatically return to the run position.
Aside from training myself to push it back after the engine starts, is there somewhere I can lubricate so the return spring has an easier time of it?
PS I assume this spring is in the ignition lock mechanism rather than the electrical switch...

RE: Ignition Switch won't return
The spring is part of the electrical part of the switch.
You will need to replace the switch to get it back to 100%
You can try lubbing the lock cylinder to make it work for now.It might help and it might not.
