[V6-12v] no blower, sunroof, or turn signals

[Gence.Soysal at syntegra.com]

Speaking of the ignition switch pushing back against you
when starting the engine... mine has stopped doing that;
I have to manually turn the key back a little into the
correct position (but not too far, else the engine turns
off). It seems like a simple broken switch (perhaps a spring
inside?) problem. Is this really a $400 repair as the shop 
I went to has quoted it?
