Subject:Ignition switch #2 in 2 months
From:Chad Lyles
Date:Mon, 7 Jan 2008 06:38:31 -0800

Morning all and happy new year,

another ignition switch went out on me... it happened the same way it did
last time ... passenger side head lamp went out (low beam) a week before the
ignition switch went out.
i chenged the head lamps AND the switch less that 2 months ago and a week
ago the same head lamp went out and now the ignition switch again...
any ideas?
is it something bigger than the ignition switch?
i wouldnt be so hashed if it was cheap and only took a mintue to change
out... but its 27$ for a switch and another 10$ for a head lamp and 45
minutes to do it all... and today was (supposed to be) my first day back to
work after a 3 week vacation ... so you can see my frustration when i have
to wake up at 415am and go out to the van a crank it up and have no head
lights or windshield wipers or blowers.

thanks in advance
Chad
