I have had my 850 wagon for about 9 months now and I love it! Today when i got back from work, shut down the wagon and pulled out the key, it felt hot. I touched the outside of the ignition switch and it was VERY hot. I have not noticed any trouble lights or anything, the car runs real well but obviously i have a voltage drop of some sort in the switch. I thought these cars used relays for any circuit that pulls a large amount of current, so where do i look? tomorrow i will not use the AC or the fan and i will see what happens. Any other suggestions would be very welcome!
