It prevents starting in gear, and you don't want to bypass that! I've replaced them on both the vans I work on, they have soft brass contacts and don't last 25 years. Replace both the switch and wiper, and add a couple of LED lights while you are in there: http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=21767&category_id=21754&category_parent_id=

Very common? Telling how to bypass it would be a huge help!
