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!
