I sure hope we can help Steve out.  And, it is so good to see Steve posting to the list.

        Last time I emailed Steve he used his expert lock and key skills to talk me through a sliding door handle repair.  He is our list key expert.

I still use all originally cut keys by Steve on both my vans.  Though I’m less picky these days and am ok with not having a glove box key for the 84.  Though I love the ones Steve made me for my 85! 

Now electrical people lets get him sorted!
