I have a 2003 721D with 1400 hours and it just died (will not start, no response from start switch at all. There is no response from the timer but the heater works. the engine will start when the solenoid is shorted to the + battery but the fuel solenoid will not hold on but the engine stops in a second when the fuel solenoid closes. Is the ignition switch defective or what?

I believe the brake switch to be intermittent. I cleaned it with compressed air and so far it is working well. We will mow next week and see if we have it repaired. Any other Ideas will be gladly checked.
