Second Ignition (electrical part) Failure in less than a Year 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Grant Goodes on  Tue Aug 16 02:29 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Well, it gets more interesting. Last night, my wife started the car and heard
a tiny mechanical snapping noise. The key remained in the III (start) position
and did not return to the II (run) position. It seems that the return spring
is now broken.

I realize that it is not a trivial job to take apart the mechanical part of the
ignition, but is it even possible to get at this spring and replace it, or
am I basically screwed?

So, any tips on getting at that spring would be appreciated.
