All I can say is WOW, you are right on the $$! I went out Friday and it started right up, then the blower came on like it should, so I wasn't sure if that was the issue.
We were away on the weekend, and I just went out and tried again....this time, I could hear the flaps changing, but no blower. Then, reach over and wiggle the key - Presto, all is as it should be. Again, THANKS VERY MUCH!
I remember now that I got the key stuck in the ignition, once, about a year ago, and I guess that would've been my first warning, and this is my second.
Hope I have an opportunity to help you out someday, but in the meantime, I'm once again grateful that this forum is here and guys like you are there when needed.
