Hello All,
I have a 97 Jetta that will not start the running lights and heater/
cooler fan, rear defrost light when normal ignition turn is used. If
you giggle the key or turn the key to a full turn position everything
will function. This has become a real pain because I can not drive and
hold the key while driving a manual. Is this the ignition? I just
recently had it replaced a year ago and slowly this problem has gotten
worse. Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Cheaper the
fix the better! Thanks again!

I am not sure what an ignition is, but I suspect your problem is the
ignition switch.

Having two go bad could be just bad luck or it could be a lot of keys
and things hanging on your key chain.

IMHO yes it should be the ign switch
Please buy from the dealer $34
The aftermarket ign switches sometimes don't last. I tried an aftermarket
ign switch and it lasted maybe 1 week. The original one I rebuilt almost
lasted 1 year, but so far the new one from the dealer has been great for
almost 2 years.
