Just curious: can a worn ignition switch in an 850 lead to other problems besides having to jiggle the key to unlock the shifter and activate headlights. I have an electrical short somewhere, and I'm trying to determine if fixing the ignition switch (the electrical portion) would help. Also, is it common for the wiring harness leading up to the MAF to go bad (or the connectors on it)? I get occasional stalls at low RPM, seemingly after I hit bumps or jar the car... Cheers. PM
