I think my one has had it. Do I need to remove the steering wheel and instrument cluster just to change it. I only ask this after looking at the website that shows you how to remove the dashboard.
CAn any one show some pics?

remove the under dash trim by turning the plastic clips by 1/4 turn and you should be able to push the switch out from behind.easy peasy
