I have a 2005 bounder 38n that someone has ripped the ignition switch out of the dash.
I need a part number but none is stamped on the casing.
Can anyone give me the number. It has 5 wires in the back.

Looks the same as my 99 DSDP .Freightliner chassis .

Switch is from a 72/77 GMC P/U , you'll need info on removing the lock( key barrel ) and a cone bezel .

Take the switch to NAPA or Auto Zone , I don't have a number but they're approx $10.

Bezel available online from Chevy/GMC restoration sites.
U Tube video available for key removal .

Threads in the bezel probably stripped and PO didn't know where to get a replacement .

EDIT: If ignition switch works could be all you need is the bezel , but to mount the switch with a new bezel the lock cylinder must be removed .

Hey, that looks like my ignition switch, thanks Skip! Mine allows the key to come out while the engine is running.

I believe you can purchase the ignition switch with lock cylinder and keys .

Lock cylinder may be available by it's self from GM or the restoration sites .

EDIT : A quick search came up with NAPA # KS6608 for ignition with lock and keys .

and
2040parts.com
Listed a switch with bezel and behind dash cone . Picture below

Once you have the part description ; Google is your friend .

Check to see if the ignition switch spacer ( middle item of the lower three ) is stuck to the inside of the dash .
If it's not there then this E Bay item for 1968/69/70 GMC @ $39 might be the quickest way to get everything you need .

This is exactly like my house Kwikset locks. I completely missed the little hole. Thank you for all this very accurate info. Freightliner, Fleetwood Rev, & Cummins had no help.

If you follow the wiring back about 3' , you'll come to the end of the ignition wiring adaptor harness , and the start of Freightliners dash harness at a multiple connector .
The adaptor harness and ignition switch were supplied by Fleetwood , so Freightliner had no idea exactly what was used.
Cummins only supplied the engine and the wiring attached to it; to Freightliner; so they would have no clue as to the rest of the coach wiring.
REV group ; it's been posted by others , that when they bought the Fleetwood name , they didn't get all the production, and parts records.

So when it comes to our old coaches , member knowledge from experience; of ownership; shared, here in the forums is paramount .
