My 85 GMC Sierra's ignition switch won't move into the accessory position. Anyone in this group ever deal with this problem?

For me, usually a little wiggle of the steering wheel will allow the key to be turned back into the ACC position. Not a real solution I know - but good enough for the few times that the ACC position is required.

With an electronic ignition system (unlike a points/condenser style ignition system), there is no harm in leaving the key in the RUN position for extended periods.
