Steve,

Thanks for the free-bee. The solution is exactly as you prescribed...just wiggle the key!

Going forward, when it comes time for the ignition switch to be replaced (like I did with my earlier 190E) will the replacement solve this challenge for good, or is there something else that I need to address while it's being worked on?

Thanx much.
