Just an update (I will post pics later). I removed my door lock mechanism and wanted to see what this part was all about. Not to difficult to remove. Kind of an awkward position to fit your arms into the doors . Once I removed the mechanism I noticed that the spring was out of position so I used my pliers and put it into place (again, it will be in the photos) and lubed the necessary parts. Cleaned the mechanism and microswitches and re assembled and voila the door lock now works like a charm and the window drops as it should.

Seems like this may hold me over for a while (I will keep you updated on that one). I will order the ignition switch next week and install that next weekend.

Thanks to all for your advice and help.
