re; more ignition switch failure

[Grant]

Yea, everyone on the planet has had this problem.  Its the electrical 
portion, the one that's about $39 for the German OEM part and $20 for 
the, drum roll please, even crap7754ier chinese part. Hard to believe 
they can &%$# it up even worse than OEM, but they can!

Its not the lock cylinder.  Of course, if you've been reading my woes 
lately you now this, but lately, I rue the day I replaced the one that 
simply didn't return to "run".  That one worked for 8 years and took a 
slight twist of the wrist to fix the occasional problem.

Since then I've had 4 (as of this weekend) fail differently. Now the 
car doesnt start. Cranks with no fuel, no spark and no injector power.  
Results in poor running, as you might imagine.  aka dead as a doornail.

So replace it and I wish you well.  But keep the original, in case some 
day you WISH you had it back, as I do.
