Hello Byron - I've only, in the past 2 or 3 years, really started working on my own Volvo. It's a learning curve for sure finding sources for Volvo parts and never considered ebay as one but will give it a try. I think my biggest problem is not knowing if I should use original or after market parts. I tend to stick to original as much as possible.
Back to a failing ignition switch symptom(s), the biggest reason why I went back and bought a new one is that you said you had a half second delay before it would start cranking. Mine was sometimes half second to a full second and a half before it started cranking. Of course, it sometimes, mostly I would say, have just a no crank, especially after driving for a long while. It did, however, always start given enough time and times turning the key. :) The symptoms may come back (I hope not) because there was an alarm system that sometimes caused a "no crank" so I had a mechanic remove it. The wiring, after looking at it when replacing the ignition switch this last time, looks like a bomb went off down there. So, hopefully, a new IS did the trick and it's not the wiring.
Take care and thanks again!
