I just put in a new starter because my car decided to stop starting. Shortly before, I had been driving at night and suddenly all the electrical widgets in the car went out and there was a strange noise.

After that - car wouldn't start on it's own - push started fine though.

So the new starter went in - and everything returned to normal for a while, but then it did the same thing on a start this weekend. I listened to the sound and I think it may be that the starter is staying on. It is consistent with what is wired to be off when the car is in the III position on the key.

So I think something in my ignition switch is bad, and I need a new one, though I'm not completely sure what I need, and if it's something I can replace myself. I seem to remember my old car having some antitheft features around the ignition -

it's a '90 740 intercooled manual turbo wagon.
