On the way to helping a friend who put himself in the ditch the other night during a big snow storm (2003 Subaru WRX - write off), the "X" circuit on the switch at the bottom of the key cylinder in my TriStar quit working - no more lights, no more wipers, no more blower - a definite Apollo 13 moment. In true Apollo 13 style though, with a call to home for verbal Bentley manual wiring diagrams, I jumpered the headed lights on, rescued my buddy and we all made if back safe and sound. Now, I have never had this switch fail before, I have two Vanagons here that I can pull parts from, but how do you remove the switch from the bottom of the lock cylinder - does someone have the Reader's Digest version on how to do it? Thanks in advance!
