Lawrence ;
Most of the time all you needs do is : remove the under dash panel and look at the back of the ignition switch , it has two short hose bits that get soft & blubbery from the oil inside .
After that , go under the hood and find the nest of delicate plastic tubes , the brown ones control the engine shut off and will also need replacing of the joining hose bits .
When you're looking at the various plastic hoses and short rubber hose bits , *gently* pull at them one at a time ~ any one that easily slides apart , is bad.
DO NOT waste time cutting off 1/4" of the end or the rubber hose bit , replace it , if it doesn't take a good strong pull to separate , that rubber bit is kaput .
There are also rubber ' spiders ' that have multiple arms , four , five and even six , these prolly need replacing too .
After you've done this , I'll get into where the rest of them are but do the easy things first .

Nate's note reminded me I have a big problem. My motor intermittently started to not shut off when turning the key off. Also my door locks seemed to work better in hot weather...but maybe that is serendipity.....for sure my locks don't work. So seems to me replacing all the rubber connectors is a good deal...except...where are they? Is there a good resource pinpointing all the locations of the fiddly bits(rubber connectors)?
