I believe the switch was $120 and no I did not have to take the steering wheel off just the two plastic halfs around the steering column. There are also a couple little screws that hold the switch in also.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you hope you get it figured out.
Ummm....yea...I DID figure it out. If you look at my previous post, I wrote up a fix. But, I do appreciate the response, as I didn't write (in my fix) how to remove the switch. Thanks!
