We'll pull the steering wheel tomorrow and see what we see.

If we can't fix it, I'm inclined to buy a replacement switch from FR Part Store - $29 shipped.
I haven't dealt with them before. I've seen a few purchases from members here, w/o complaint. One guy on YBF got a trunk pan that didn't fit tho.
