Last week, my wife told me none of the windows would go up or down, the air=
 conditioner (whole auto temperature would not light up) would not work, no=
r did the turn signals, and that it had made a loud metallic sounding noise=
.   Naturally, I drive the car and the windows work fine, but the air condi=
tioner is still not working, and the wipers now are added to the non functi=
oning list.   I drive the car to my mechanic, shut of the key.  I restart i=
t and everything is working fine.  How is the mechanic to now find the prob=
lem!!  "Jeff" pondered a bit and said he had this happen once before and it=
 was the ignition switch electrical component had cracked and would not let=
 the key return fully.  Sure enough, if I manually turned the key back, the=
 a/c lights came on, the wipers worked, windows worked, etc.  Apparently, t=
his is common with the 92 and later ignitions.  I have never experience wit=
h the pre 92 models.
