Several people have reported that the problem is caused by too much grease in the switch, and that the problem can be fixed by removing the excess grease. Good luck.

1. Can the ignition switch be replaced by me? Yes, I've done it in other cars, but since it has that Pass-Key system, I'm worried that it won't start again with a different ingition switch.
2. How much does it cost to have a dealer repair this?
3. Could a locksmith or a mechanic do this job for a better price?
Thanks for the help.
Thanks,
Len
Anyone with advice (other than don't put you foot into it anymore, because THAT ain't gonna happen), would be greatly appreciated

You probably don't open the passenger door as frequently, hence those wires are fine whereas the driver door ones have flexed many more times...
--Robert
I recommend you use only ACDelco replacement parts; you will hear the same advice from others on this board. Try RockAuto.com and GMPartsDirect.com; I have no affiliation with either except as a satisfied customer.

few months. So I decided I will try and change it myself, many advice? Seems like bank1 sensor 1 is the hardest to get to.
What brand sensors have been lasting only a few months?
-Jeff
Sorry I can't point you with more specific links right now... must get back to work (nose to the grindstone)...

Bulletin No.: 77-71-73
A/T - Revised Serviceability of 1-2/2-3 Shift Solenoids
Date: January, 1998
INFORMATION
Subject: Service Availability of 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoids
Models:
1993 Cadillac Allante
1993-98 Cadillac Eldorado, Seville
1994-98 Cadillac Concours
1996-98 Cadillac DeVille
1997-98 Cadillac d'Elegance
1995-98 Oldsmobile Aurora
with HYDRA-MATIC 4T80-E Transaxle (RPO MH1) and with 4.0L, 4.6L Engine (VINs C, Y, 9 - RPOs L47, LD8, L37)
During the 1996 Model Year, transaxle Julian date 047, a new 1-2, 2-3 shift solenoid assembly, and a pressure control solenoid valve fluid filter retainer, were implemented on the 4T80-E transaxle.
All transaxles with a Julian date prior to 1996, 047 must be serviced with a service kit - 1-2/2-3 shift solenoid valves, which is available at GMSPO. This kit, P/N 24211355, contains the 1-2, 2-3 shift solenoid valves, the pressure control solenoid valve filter, the pressure control solenoid valve fluid filter retainer and the bolt to hold the retainer to the lower control valve body. All components in this kit must be used when servicing these transaxles.
1996 transaxles with a Julian date after 047, and 1997 through 1998 transaxles, should be serviced with individual components.
a) the job is a mess, be prepared.
b) drop the pan, and careful remove the tranny gasket, it is re-usable. Once you clean the pan, you can reset it with gasket sealer.
c) disconnect the solenoid electrical connectors and the mechanical linkage. The linkage has a metal clip you lift and slide.
d) remove the valve body screws, and drop the valve body.
e) place the valve body where you can afford a mess, it will continually leak. Best thing is to set it on cardboard on a bench. There is a valve spool that can be removed as well, careful it can slip out, you don't want to damage it.
f) remove the two clips holding the solenoids, careful they are spring-loaded and will fly
g) remove the screws holding the "large" portion of the valve body split, this is where the solenoids are encased. Remember the screw locations, there are about four different screw lengths
h) CAREFULLY remove split, there are 4 steel check balls loose inside the split (about 1/4" diameter, they will fly, as well)
i) inspect spacer plate, if the black coating is not chipping off you can re-use it, otherwise plan on spending another $ 70 at the dealership parts house. If you replace it you will have to remove the "smaller" split, as well. It also has three check balls.
j) replace the solenoids
k) now comes the fun,....you will note three holes in the spacer plate where three of the check balls reside, seat them there (appr. 3/16" diameter with a smaller relief hole next to it, as I remember). The fourth check ball will need to be inserted in a spherically-cast cavity which is near one the solenoids. You can set it with grease, I re-assembled successfully without using grease.
l) re-assemble valve body, carefully and equally torque.
m) you will note a square black plastic item near one of the solenoids, on the end. Replace this plastic filter with the new filter in the solenoid kit. The kit will also come with an L-shaped bracket that is to be used to "capture" this filter and keep it from backing out. The kit also comes with a slightly longer screw used to mount the bracket to the valve body (discard the old screw).
m) re-assemble valve body to transmission, hook up linkage and electrical connectors
n) replace both tranny filters
o) replenish fluid
p) reset codes
FPR would be long crank-crank-crank starts (especially on warm starts)... probably a good preventative maintenance change, since it's easy and fairly inexpensive...
--Robert
Question on the long crank with a bad FPR, how long is a long crank, I never cranked more then 3 or 4 seconds.
Rob
Factory service manuals are available from Helm (www.helminc.com); also try eBay.
If your FPR is leaking, there will be fuel in the flexible tube that runs from the FPR to the intake manifold. That's what causes the engine to flood and to be hard to start.
Good luck.

I would not have been able to replace my fuel pump without the lock nut wrench tool (Kent-Moore J-39765)
What Aurora-specific tools have shadetree mechanics had to buy? I know about the water pump removal tool, and now this one for replacing the fuel pump. Anything else Aurora-specific that I should get? Now that Olds is gone, I have the service manuals and want to get any specific tools that I need.
My Aurora goes into storage for the summer on Friday of this week :-(. I've been spending time detailing and prepping the car, inside and out. Still looks/shines/smells great. It'll ride great once I replace the shocks and struts in the fall (every time I hit a significant bump I can feel the car shudder sideways a little bit, so I know it's time)...
