## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, if the engine fails to start and the driver holds the key in the "Start" position for an extended period, high current flowing through the ignition switch may produces enough heat to melt internal switch parts.  If the switch is damaged, a fire could occur in the steering column, even with the engine off and the key removed.   Correction:  Dealer will install a relay kit to prevent high current from flowing through the ignition switch.
