Thanks for all of the info. I will replace the light switch this week end. On the other hand today the temperature started at 26 and all was well but the transmission went into limp mode. I re-started the car and it worked fine. 2 miles from work under a foot of snow the lights came on. This is ramdom. The car is in the garage at night so I suspect that the battery is not the issue. I will keep you all posted on what happens.

Thanks for the advice

Mike
