...and take the key out, and it's taking longer and longer for the "clink" to shut off the accessories. Anyone had to fix this? I assume it's the mechanical switch behind the key cylinder.

Yep, mine was taking up to about two seconds. I just had the whole piece replaced a couple of weeks ago.

How much? Dealer quoted $550 at PPI, it was a minor issue then. Now mine can take almost a minute when I first drive it (week end car). I'm guessing I can buy the part from Amazon for $100.

Wow- a minute is pretty substantial. My recollection was $300-350 all in. IIRC, we replaced the full ignition switch/steering lock mechanism. The switch is cheap, the steering lock - a fair bit more.
