Hi,

What I did when the car didn't star was to spray inside the ignition switch with one of those Electronic Contact Cleaner can. The car is now starting normally in P or N and without any trouble. Starts always at the first try. I only got the symtom once but now it apprears to be good again.

I still think it must be some electrical contacts problem inside the switch (I got the same problem once in a VW Jetta) but I'm not sure and since my wife uses this car a lot, I'm getting worried because it could happend again anytime.

Do you think it makes any difference using a contact cleaner inside the ignition sw? Is it easy disassemble the ignition switch to take take a look at the electrical contacts? What else shoud I check?

Thanks !!
