I'd like to thank all list members for your suggestions, and even the list
member who called me hard headed.  I am glad I went with my assesment that
the headlight switch in the dash WAS NOT in need of replacement.  I removed
the ignition switch and carefully dis-assembled it.  There was some black
marks inside indicating something had shorted, also the contacts were quite
worn.  I guess I am a little hard headed but I fail to see the logic in just
replacing parts blindly without determining which part, precisely, has
failed.  Maybe that's why they won't hire me down at the local Volkswagon
dealership.  I bought an ignition switch for $27, installed it and bingo,
that was it.  Thanks again to all of you,  This list is priceless.
