>Same here - ignition switch was the diagnosed culprit ~ $70 dealer
>installed.

I just replaced the ignition switch on an '85 westy because the engine kept
cutting out while I was driving.  I bought it for $8 from Vanagain and it
took me like 5 minutes to switch it.  It was one of the easiest things I've
ever fixed on the van.  It fixed the problem right up too.

Apparently heavy keys, tugging on the steering wheel, old age, etc... can
damage the switch (located on the side of the steering column).  I tested to
see whether or not the switch was the problem by playing with the keys while
the car was on (moving them side to side/up&down)  If I tweaked it just
right I could get the car to start and stay running.  Fiddling with that
might "fix" or at least effect your lights.

In anycase, if you suspect the ignition switch, you'll only lose about $10
bucks and 10 minutes if you do it yourself.
