Possibly a red herring, but noticed you also have thread looking at the PLC2 main switch.
I have two PLC2 main switches which both had problems with the ignition switch not always
making good contact (so no volts to the coil and not starting).
Basically proved the problem by pushing the key in hard(ish) and then trying to start the car,
which it did, but stopped imediatelly I let go of the key.
Problem on both switches is wear on the the switch. One fixed by taking apart and 'crimping'
the outside of the key holder so the contacts at the bottom of the switch make better contact.
Not a job for the faint hearted as it is a fiddly job to get the switch back together again.
The second switch (fitted to car) has a washer large enough to get the key into, but small enough
to cover the moving part of the switch 'superglued' on the outside of the switch.
Not pretty but it does work using 'gel' superglue.
