Visitor, 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada, 177,000 mi

Truck will turn over fine,and when it starts, it runs fine.
When key is on "run" position, the dash lights will only come on 1 out of 10 times. If the dash lights come on, it'll start. if not, it just turns over. Repaired once by replacing entire steering column (easier than digging past the airbag to get to the ignition).
