Thanks Alan, That gives me an idea of another place to check. I have the
service
manual, so I can look it up. but thanks for the offer.
I thought it might not be the electrical part of the switch, only because
it
worked after I glued the original lock cylinder piece ( re-installing it
into
the original switch) but you may be right, it pretty much is the only
thing I
haven't replaced at this point.. I just hate to pay for it if I don't
need it ..
only available at the dealer, and about 97.00 with tax for the switch, I
just
paid over 100.00 for the cylinder and re-key.. but we gotta do what we
gotta
do...

I can dig out my FSM and look up the pin out for the switch, this will
tell you
what two wires in the switch engage the starter if this would help? It
will
take me a few day to find the FSM but some others may have the manual at
hand,
and can give info faster.
