I never would have thought of that...
How could it be the ignition switch? What would cause it to be damaged?
I'm not too sure if that's the problem but I'll definitely keep it in mind. Maybe I'll hit the steering column and see if it gets funked.

-1998.5 Contour SE V6 ATX. PM me to tell me of a welder that can craft me a modified Y pipe in the Los Angeles area! OR I may be willing to buy a 3 flange modified Y.
