I just went thru a whole damned to hell and beyond day doing just

work , and I'm sure glad it was close enough for her to walk home !


Does your wife have a heavy or bulky keychain? Ignition switches have
been known to be loose enough to turn off when the pendulum of other
keys swings in the wrong direction.

Nope , and in this case that wouldn't cause the problem . The keyed part is
a separate unit , only contact with the contactor part is a small protrusion
that turns it . I'm leaning towards it was an oxidized contact or three .
It starts this morning ...
