OK, the reason my archive search went poorly was that I used "ignition
switch" and not "ignition"  It mentions using a qualifier but my page just
stopped at a certain point for a few hours so that didn't go well.

Anyhow, Chad Lyles, just hooked me up with a link to the BTDT site with the
procedure.  Not quick but not hard.  It's what I expected.  I've been in
that assy before but haven't done a swich yet, just pulled a few for parts
salvage.  Now I get to fix one.  Lucky me.  Beats climbing on the
ground-Again!  Ken has write up on his site but I have to find it again.
