Ignition barrel is worn then I would think and acc is shorting onto full ignition

sometimes it is not the barrel but the soldered connections on the end of the barrel. mine all shorted and arced across
my mate re-soldered them and all fine.
we have just broke a bb1 and have the full steering coleum with barrel and key if you need it but means you will have 2 keys

one for doors and one for ignition

I don't really mind two keys actually

will have to investigate further if the solder is fine I will just get a barrel and key of u I don't need a steering rack

i was saying that

just the barrel and key m8

wasn't sugesting thae whole coloum
when you open the wire end you will soon see if you have arcing mine was black and fried as the main ignition wire is mahosive

and carries a lot of current
