Electronic Ignition Fell Out
Hi Guys!
Long time no talk or post, but still have the car and it still has been running like a champ! The only weird thing that just happened yesterday!
The electronic spring piece in the middle of the ignition just popped right out! The car starts and everything, but I can't get the part to stay!
Any help would be much appreciated! I couldn't find anything online or someone with the same issue!
Thanks guys!

It may be possible to remove and disassemble the switch and repair it, but that's all "unofficial" as the switch is one part. You may end up needing a new EIS.

I can, but just felt that it could be a simple fix. I can't even pinpoint how that inner spring piece even securely stayed within the hole!
Know how?
thanks!

Sorry, no, I've never torn into an EIS. My guess is there there is a keeper, maybe sort of a snap ring, that goes in there to hold the lens and spring in place. Maybe that has broken or somehow come out?

Thanks for the insight. I'll see what I can do and report back! If anyone else has any tips or firsthand experience, it's always appreciated!
