help wife stranded - won't start PNP switch? 850

Hi, this happens to my '94 wagon, too. Like the others, I think the PNP switch is going out. Some days mine will not crank until I do one of two things:
1. turn ignition to accessories position, then row the shifter back & forth a few times. Usually will crank then.
2. turn ignition to accessories position, release the parking brake, let car move car slightly. It'll usually crank in this new position.

Try it. But sooner or later the pnp will need to be replaced. :-/
