Thanks guys.

compu_85....I will do that. Nothing to lose. Have to replace it anyway, so why not.....

benzworldrefuge....a while back I would have agreed that might be the issue, but we have tried everything...wiggling the key, the switches, pounding on the doors and console, using the key from outside, I even ran a "backup" ground out to the engine compartment from the center console to MAKE SURE the ground under the console was good.....nada. Does it whenever IT wants to....usually when it is raining out....(but of course, not always.)

babymog...When you have a chance, PM or email me (atmorris@ptd.net) on that spare you have....how much you need for it and any other info I need to make sure its a match. Thanks.
