Okay, I got ahold of a new ignition switch and went out to see about
installing it. I got the steering wheel and assorted plastic removed, and I
was able to easily disconnect the wiring from the back of the old switch.
Just for curiosity's sake, I reached behind the pass. seat and (briefly)
reconnected the battery. The starter still came on! If the problem lay in
the ignition switch, wouldn't disconnecting it kill the starter too? Where
else should I look for a short? Keep in mind that I'm at work, and dressed
in khakis and a nice sweater ;). Also, I poked around some more under the
dash, and all the wiring looks ship-shape at a glance. I didn't see anything
obviously cooked... TIA

JJ
