After I replaced the ignition switch the car refused to start again a few days later. I ultimately had to replace the starter also. I still think my switch was bad though. Glad this has been helpful.
Thanks for making this video. I was having the starting issues today and was going crazy trying to perform a process of elimination on what could be the culprit from battery, to fuel pump and fuses. I stumbled upon this through a google search and sure enough I had the same problem. My 2003 LX has 156,000 miles.
This video was extremely helpful! Thank you for making what I thought was going to be a nightmare job into a piece of cake (I had no idea the plastic housing was made of 2 pieces - it looks like a seam rather than the joining of 2 pieces). And everything went back together even easier than taking it apart, which is usually the exact opposite, I couldn't believe it. Thank you for posting sir!
This is helpful, thanks! Next time would be good to include some footage of what the engine was doing before the fix, so I can decide if I have the same problem
Hey, thanks for this video. While I wouldn't be too afraid to figure this out myself it is really nice to take a peek before I start dismantling stuff on my own car, especially when it's around zero degrees (F) outside right now, hah!
Im curious as well. I replaced my starter thinking thats what it is. Been rstarting fine for a couple months and didnt start today. Hear a click and the relay which sounds like its under the passenger dash. Then i turn the key at different speeds and at about the 5th try it started. Im thinking ignition switch but wanted to make sure. Thx
Great video, thankyou very much. Now I'll replace the ignition switch on my wife's 2002 Mazda 323. Hi from down under.👍

After the starter was replaced did you have more problems?

Thanks for posting this. The key in mine feels hot during running. I'm changing mine as a precaution. This video will help.
Thanks for your video! I will let you know how I go with my right hand drive 323 Protege. Thanks from Australia!
Thank you for this video! It is exactly what I was looking for, really helpful indeed. Thanks!!

Dan Carlin Basically the ignition switch would not start the car (intermittently) depending on how fast the key was turned. Good luck.
Great video it help me tremendously. Thank you!

You could have also removed the dash panel and that will give you more room to work with
