You are awesome. Thanks for the help. BTW- It has an M47. I have been reading a lot about it and I am going to try those things you suggest. To be clear, the new switch didn't make it worse, it is the same issues. Like I said after maybe thirty tries, twice the dinger came on but nothing else. I will check the remote starter and the power junction on the fender well.
Some of the symptoms the past year have been these:
1. pull key out and the dinger still went off, it didn't know the key was out.
2. Start the car and no blower and SRS light on, then just barely tap the key toward KP II and they worked properly.
3. Every blue moon, the car would do nothing like it is now. I would get out and check the battery terminals or something else etc and try again and it would start. Sometimes just trying a few times it would catch and go.
4. I had to lube the key hole because the key wouldn't come out easily.
I am starting to think it is a combination of things. I am the original owner of the car and it has about 350K miles on it, so it has put in good use. I have never had to change the ignition switch or mess with the key barrel. In fact the old switch says W. Germany on it so I know its original!
