Description of the problem | For almost a year, to start my car i had to push key in very firmly, then turn. For about one month now, i have to push in, then jiggle in and out until it connects and starts car. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes to find the connection. I don't know if this is related to the problem of having no power steering (power steering comes and goes - usually none) which i understand is also an electrical problem. *js |
