It's been a rough month." Yeah, every once in awhile (usually too often), things happen to test our mettle. Hopefully nothing really bad. Changes...Decisions...Toughing it out..Jeez, WHAT NEXT.. Gotta keep reminding yourself things could be worse. Others have it worse. Good luck. " the push-pull and key turn are the same function." Yes, they perform the same function (lock-unlock). But they are seperate switches that do the same thing but in different ways (push-pull/key turn). The harness wires (blk,red,grn) branch to both switches so that power is fed to both. The circuit is completed by activating either switch. You can disconnect one (ie. cut the black common wire to one) and still have the other functioning as power will still go through it. Myself, I disconnected the key turn switch as I don't like all doors opening when I turn the key. If I want to unlock/lock the doors, I just reach in and pull/push the knob. -- 1980 245 Canadian B21A with SU carb and M46 trans Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
