Valet key - power key problem - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

OK, I tore the dash apart. The bulb was burned out. I replaced the bulb and it now reads out on the dash. The key switch works, but is a little loose. I turn it from normal to power and there is an area on the power side that has a dead spot in it. As it enters power mode it turns the light on. If I continue to "full" on it goes out. If I force the key to the very end, the light comes on. So, I think I am going to need a new switch.
Now for the power. I will go drive it again, but there still doesnt seem to be much difference between the two positions. I dont know if it is programmed to be on all the time. The car came with a spare chip. The one that was not in the ecm was marked AUAH. The one in the ecm just had a sticker on it that said 90 corvette zr1. Hand written. So, I removed the one that was hand written and replaced it with the AUAH. Did not notice a difference.
Does it sound like I am going the right way?
