What was found
(CAN) REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH DURING 2200 HR O/H AND REINSTALLED IN INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SEATING OF THE SWITCH STOPPED THE CONSOLE FROM OPENING AGAIN. THE SWITCH WAS REMOVED AND RESEATED TO ALLOW TRAVEL PAST THE INSTRUMENT CONSOLE. WE COULD NOT ALIGN THE SWITCH TO PREVENT THE TERMINAL (RT MAG CONNECTION) FROM CONTACTING THE SIDE WALL OF THE LOWER CONSOLE. THE TERMINAL ONLY MAKES CONTACT DURING THE TRANSITION FROM OPEN TO CLOSE AND VICE-VERSA. ONCE THE CONSOLE IS CLOSED THERE IS NO CONTACT OF THE TERMINAL, SIDEWALL OR LIP. WE ARE TALKING WITH MFG TO SEE IF THERE MAYBE A FIX. COULD BE IGNITION SWITCH MAYBE HAVE TO BE DESIGNED A LITTLE SMALLER OR MORE ROOM ON PANEL. (TC NR 20061216001)
