We have a 1974 VW Sun Bug. The ignition component fell out and we were able to get it back in place without the sleeve and drive it 35 miles home. The battery went dead so we had it tested. We took to someone who was able to obtain the sleeve for the module. We had battery tested and was told ok but needed new voltage regulator which we replaced. Drove it to Ames, Iowa from Des Moines, Iowa (35mi) and battery went dead. Charged battery brought it back to Des Moines and replaced the alternator. Drove back to Ames and battery dead again. Could it be the ignition module? When you try to start it, if you let off on the key you have to go the off position to try again. This is a college student's car so she needs desperately to find out what is going on. Thank you
