The solenoid could be sticking also, in which case it wouldn't matter whether the ignition switch was faulty or not.

I would suspect the solenoid before the ignition. -David ============================================================================ David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) SAIC Comsystems, San Diego Calif.
