The following behavior now exists: 1) brake activated, motor will not turn off. Foot off Brake, shuts off. 2) the lights were on when switch was in left position, now the lights are off, and the running lights turn on when the brake is activated. 3) lights stay on in the "on" right position. 4) when the brake is activated, at any time , there is a connection ticking sound comming from the "glove box" area.. Is all this chaos coming from the ignition switch...? If so I'm off to sit on SAAB's door step! NEW switch..! Thanks for taking the time to help out.. this is baffling! Art
