I have never replaced an ignition switch but the second part of your question raised a flag. You say that "sometimes it won't catch to start". Does that mean that nothing happens at all, or just a click, or the starter spins without engaging the engine? I'm certainly not insisting that your ignition switch is not At Fault but if you are getting any reaction from turning the key then I'd be looking somewhere else. My past (and sure to be ongoing) problems in this area have been caused by corroded ignition coil wires, almost-dead starter solenoids and connections, and my own personal favorite, a large number of teeth chewed off the flywheel by an ignorantly rebuilt starter motor. Certainly if the starter is spinning I'd look for a bad solenoid. I've not had this problem yet with my Safari so I'm not sure if it's attached to the starter itself or remotely mounted. Having had both I have to say that I prefer the remote one. It's a lot easier to get at to whack at with a hammer. --------------------------------------- How about an answer that is actually useful?

At the top, using the spark plug socket, loosen the 2 captive nuts. Hold on to the column, because it WILL fall. Remove the dimmer switch. Remove the starter switch. Reverse the procedures to close it up. NOTICE: don't tighten the captive nuts at the top of the column until you have re-installed the 4 screws at the base of the column.
