Have you found the problem? Was it the ign switch? If so, was it a problem to install? My 97 started doing this exact thing about 4 or 5 days ago. Like you said, "wiggle the column up/down and the Dum-lites come on and it cranks. I'm just waiting on the time it doesn't :( HELP please ) brenthdavis@cox.net

Thanks for your time & help,
Brent

What should the front suspension look like? Yea, i'm off the electrical short subject. I was installing brake pads and noticed that the "GUESSING" sway-bar conection to the swing-arm has a hell of a gap, Almost like something is missing. Have you heard anything about the front ends on these 97 falling apart? I really can't complain, $4,700 cash and it has a brand-new from factory engine. Insurance replaced it. Anyway, have a good one. Oh yea, is the any kits for customizing the interior??
