Quite the unexpected solution but happy to hear it's solved. Between making parts lighter weight, switching more and more electrical stuff on and off, and squeezing parts suppliers to cut costs on parts, there has been a lot more trouble with ignition switches than in the past. Chrysler had a lot of trouble with them overheating contacts and melting the electrical connectors, but their problems were mostly with the switched power windows, heater fan, and radio circuit. Ford was having trouble with switches causing fires even after the engine was stopped. Don't hear about GM having switch trouble very much, probably because they make the largest percentage of their own parts.
