Default Another one fixed

Thanks to mdawley4 for the digikey part number for the switches and Ron for the instructions. I replaced all four switches with the new switches. I'm back to having a working trip button and it is much easier to feel when the button is pressed. $5 to digikey (I bought 6 switches just in case) and about an hour of time to do it.

A few things I learned.

1) Before doing anything, disconnect the negative battery terminal. If you short something out you'll be glad you did.

2) Remove the three screws holding the steering column bottom cover on and remove the cover before trying to remove the four nuts that hold the column up.

3) Be careful de-soldering the old switches. Don't damage the traces on the circuit board.

Thanks again guys! Now I can reset my "maintenance" indicator.
