Hi Niek,

My first paragraph included a bit of my experience taking things apart. It may not be relevant. The uncrimping of the pot metal was probably a stumbling point, now that I look at it again. Let me try some pics:

Notes on 240 Volvo Ignition Switch

I figured you would want to pursue the lack of key-in signal. If it is in the switch itself (the most likely spot I'd guess) you might have the option of repairing or replacing.

If you try to fix the switch (or just want to see what went wrong in it) you would need to bend some fairly brittle zinc alloy (pot metal if I'm labeling it correctly). So it is with care you must do that if you want to bend it back again to re-assemble the switch. I figure I've done this dozens of times to other similarly constructed electrical products -- most with success, but not always.

Before you take this step I recommend assuring yourself you have "convicted" it with careful measurements. Sometimes meter probes slip. A test light with clips would be my choice.
