Electical Demon 850 1995

Its weird, I have just developed the same problem in the last week. I have tried wiggling the key thinking of poor contacts in the switching part but this didnthelp. I have noticed several other symptoms. First - three weeks ago i started having trouble moving the shifter out of the park position, and this seems more likely to happen in the afternoon when it is hot and humid verses in the cooler mornings (60'). when the abs lite stays on at startup I cant move the shifter out of park, sometimes the abs lite will flicker on and then off and everything worksfine.. the second thing is that if i use the remote starter everything works fine everytime, shifter ,turn signals, headlites. If i start with the key and the abs lite stays on, i shut it off and start with remote and all is well. I am not sure what direction to start in. Could it be related to the remote starter, which was installed 5 years ago? thanks bobd 1995 850 144,000 miles
