Lee-

Thanks for the kind words, both here and elsewhere. I only did what others do here every day - share what I've learned. I tend to steer toward the electrical issues based on my background, so I read the mechanical issues and answer the electrical ones (where I can.) Stick around and you'll get all the info you'll need to keep your car going.

When you say you replaced your switch, did you mean the tumbler? That wouldn't help your electrical issues or the detent issue. If you buy a new lock assembly it will come with an electrical switch and a vacuum switch. With a new tumbler, you'll love the way the whole thing operates. Check your current vacuum connections, that may be causing the run-on.

Good Luck!
